Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with the move for the Romanian defender Radu Dragusin.
A report from Calciomercato claims that the Premier League club are now in pole position to sign the 21-year-old central defender in January.
Dragusin has impressed with his performances for Genoa and he could prove to be a quality, long-term addition for the North London club who are in desperate need of defensive reinforcements. Tottenham are already lacking in depth in the central defensive department and summer signing Micky Van de Ven is currently sidelined with an injury.
Signing a central defender should be a top priority for Tottenham in the coming weeks and Dragusin would be a long-term investment for them. The 21-year-old is highly rated across Europe and he could develop into a key player for Tottenham with the right guidance.
The North London club have started the season well but they have dropped a few points in recent weeks because of injuries and the lack of depth in the squad. They will need to sign a quality defender to secure Champions League qualification and Dragusin could be a key player for them during the second half of the campaign.
Even though he is 21, the Romanian international is good enough to play in the Premier League he would certainly help them tighten up defensively. Meanwhile, Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou did well to develop young players during his time at Celtic and he could help the 21-year-old fulfil his tremendous potential in the Premier League as well.
The opportunity to join a big Premier League club can be hard to turn down for most players, and the 21-year-old will be attracted to the idea of playing for the Londoners. It would be a massive opportunity for him and he will look to test himself in the Premier League.
If he manages to fulfil his potential in the coming seasons, the move could look like a masterstroke for Tottenham in the long run. The defender is reportedly valued at around €30 million and Tottenham certainly have the means to get the deal done.
