Romanian defender Radu Dragusin has reportedly been linked with a move to the Premier League in recent weeks.
A report from Tuttomercatoweb has claimed that Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United are reportedly keen on Radu Dragusin. The Romanian defender is valued at €30 million by Genoa, and it remains to be seen whether Tottenham or Newcastle make an official approach for him in the coming weeks.
It is no secret that Tottenham need to sign defensive reinforcement in the coming months, and Dragusin would be a quality long-term investment for them. They are already lacking in depth in the defensive unit, and the long-term injury to Micky van de Ven has forced them to consider options in the transfer market.
Dragusin has the potential to succeed in the Premier League, and the opportunity to play for a club like Tottenham could be an exciting opportunity for him. The 21-year-old is a prodigious talent with a big future ahead of him and he will want to test himself at the highest level.
It remains to be seen whether Tottenham can get a deal done for the talented young defender. The reported €30 million asking price seems quite reasonable for a talent like him in today’s market. Dragusin could easily justify the investment in the long run.
Meanwhile, Newcastle United will need to sign a quality partner for Sven Botman, and the Romanian is a top target. Dragusin’s arrival would sort out the Newcastle defensive unit for the foreseeable future.
The Magpies are one of the richest clubs in the world, and they have the finances to pay the reported €30 million asking price as well. It will be interesting to see where the 21-year-old ends up. He will want to compete at the highest level. Both Tottenham and Newcastle will be exciting destinations for him.
