Brandon Austin

Key strength: Shot-stopping

Shot-stopper

At 16th place in the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur are navigating through turbulent waters, yet goalkeeper Brandon Austin watches from the shadows with quiet patience. The 27-year-old English shot-stopper, who joined Spurs in 2021 on a deal running until 2029, has yet to make his first-team breakthrough with 0 appearances this campaign. While first-choice keepers between the posts, Austin provides depth with his 1.88m frame and aerial command—attributes that earned him a €500,000 valuation. In a squad boasting high-caliber teammates like Conor Gallagher (80), Cristian Romero (78), and Micky van de Ven (78), Austin remains the patient understudy, his shot-stopping instincts sharp and ready should opportunity knock. For a club desperate to climb the table, having a reliable backup like Austin—secure in his long-term contract—offers Ange Postecoglou a safety net as Spurs fight to rediscover their form in a season that's slipped off course.
