Report: Tottenham want to sign £25m powerhouse likened to Van Dijk, PL move is his ‘childhood dream’

Tottenham Hotspur is allegedly targeting Radu Dragusin, a defender for Genoa.

Spurs are one of several Premier League teams interested in the 21-year-old center back, according to Tuttomercatoweb.

In addition to Tottenham, Dragusin, who has already earned nine caps for Romania, is being pursued by teams like Newcastle and Brighton.

Spurs could definitely benefit from adding more defensive players after what transpired against Chelsea and Wolves.

Cristian Romero was sent off and Micky van de Ven was injured in the defeat to the Blues; neither player was available for the next match.

Spurs’ loss in the final game before the international break was indicative of a decline in backcourt quality.

Ange Postecoglou, the manager of Tottenham, will probably want to add more players to his roster in January and later on because of this.

Tottenham target ‘really wants to reach England’

Dragusin is a good pick for the Spurs. He appears to have a high ceiling and is a very talented young player who has been performing well for Genoa in Serie A.

The child was ranked 45th on Goal.com’s 2021 NxGn list. He was called the “Romanian Van Dijk” by the same publication, though in a different piece.

The Romanian international, who plays nine caps, is explosive in the air, at ease handling the ball under his feet, and has a high level of energy.

Even better for Tottenham, Dragusin’s mother previously revealed to the Romanian publication AS that playing in the Premier League is her son’s “childhood dream.”

The reporter questioned Svetlana Dragusin about her expectations for her son’s football career.

“I hope he succeeds in his endeavors,” she uttered. And he’s desperate to get to England. This is his boyhood ambition.

According to Calciomercato, Dragusin is reportedly valued at £25 million, which is extremely reasonable for a top Premier League team like Spurs.
