Tottenham Hotspur announced the signing of 37‑year‑old Slovak goalkeeper Martin Dúbravka from Burnley. He will officially join when his Burnley contract ends on July 1, bolstering a goalkeeping group that already features Guglielmo Vicario, Antonín Kinský and Brandon Austin. Dúbravka said he admires the club’s fans and De Zerbi’s style.

His move arrives after Spurs completed a hectic summer that also secured Jan Paul van Hecke, Marcos Senesi and Andy Robertson. De Zerbi, entering his first full campaign after rescuing the side from relegation, praised Dúbravka’s experience and mental toughness, insisting the veteran will add balance, leadership and competitiveness to the squad.

The transfer involves no fee, as Dúbravka leaves Burnley on a free after his contract expires. Nonetheless his arrival tightens competition for the No.1 jersey and gives De Zerbi a seasoned option for cup ties. Tottenham hope the 37‑year‑old’s poise will translate into fewer defensive lapses as they aim to improve on last season’s narrow escape.

With the squad already reinforced by Van Hecke, Senesi and Robertson, Dúbravka provides depth that could prove decisive in a congested 2026‑27 schedule. His familiarity with De Zerbi’s tactical demands may accelerate integration, offering Spurs a reliable safety net between the sticks as they target a top‑half finish and aim to shed the relegation narrative.
