Signing Radu Dragusin has been a big coup for Ange and Tottenham
Tottenham Hotspur signed Radu Dragusin from Genoa for a reported £26million in the January transfer window. They beat a late attempted hijack by Bayern Munich to his signature.
Tottenham Hotspur fans skipped a heartbeat when Bayern Munich came in to take Radu Dragusin to Allianz Arena. This came just months after the German champions took Harry Kane from Tottenham.
Instead, Dragusin decided to join Tottenham Hotspur. This represented a major coup for Tottenham as well as Ange Postecoglou.
Competition at Tottenham has limited Radu Dragusin’s minutes
Although now the problem is, since the 22-year-old moved to North London he hasn’t started a single game yet. This has left fans to wonder what the plan is with Radu.
Following his move to North London, the former Juventus defender has been limited to just three appearances amounting to only eight minutes under his belt.
The reality of the situation is that the defensive roster at Tottenham Hotspur stadium has two undisputed starters in Cristian Romero and Mickey van de Ven. This means the Romanian defender has an uphill battle and will have to remain patient to get his opportunity at Tottenham Hotspur stadium.
Radu Dragusin’s agent Florin Manea spoke last week about the situation which he described as ‘normal’ and as ‘nothing to worry about’. He is hoping that the 22-year-old will start getting minutes following Tottenham’s recent loss against Gary O’Neil’s Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The Athletic journalist Jack Pitt-Brooke when speaking to A View From The Lane said that according to his belief, Dragusin is ‘pretty relaxed’ about the current situation in the capital. He added that the Romanian centre-back understands that he is new to England and the Premier League while Spurs don’t have any games in other domestic competitions.
“Dragusin was a fantastic player in Italy and I gather he’s pretty relaxed about the situation. “He knows that Tottenham don’t have a lot of games this season to allow opportunities for different players, he’s coming into a new league, the two centre backs are currently vey well-established and playing well and fit and not suspended, but as soon as any of those things ceases to be the case, Dragusin will come straight in and play,” said Pitt-Brooke.

It’s good to see Radu remaining patient with his current situation and the lack of playing time. This indicates he can have a big future at Tottenham particularly if he impresses when chances are presented to him.
