Former coach relays possibility of defender leaving Tottenham amid exit links

EURO 2024 standout tipped to push for starting spot in Postecoglou’s Tottenham lineup

Tottenham Hotspur defender Radu Dragusin has been subject to links with a move away from White Hart Lane following his struggles to find minutes under his belt under Ange Postecoglou. The Romaninan international moved to N17 at the start of the year when the Lilywhites infamously beat Bayern Munich to his signatures following weeks of speculations; however, that has been the most notable highlights of his tenure at Hotspur Way so far.

The 22-year-old had proven his credentials in the Italian top tier ahead of his move to Spurs, and he reciprocated his renowned prowess in the offseason, where he featured for Romania in the European Championships. Many thought he earned a spot in the Greek head coach’s team with those performances; however, that has not been the case, and the links away from Tottenham have compounded over the past few weeks.

And his former coach Roberto Baronio now suggests that he wouldn’t be surprised if the defender decides to swap Tottenham for Napoli soon. 

Radu Dragusin’s former coach hints at Napoli Move

Tottenham Hotspurs defender Radu Dragusin has reportedly made a decision on his rumored exit from the club.

Speaking via. Area Napoli, Baronio said:

“Drăgușin at Napoli? It wouldn’t surprise me. He did very well in Italy, he was confirmed at Genoa, if he arrived at Napoli he would compete for the starting place. I coached him for a while, and I know him very well.”

Radu Dragusin has been linked with a move to Napoli off late, with the Naples-based club looking for defensive reinforcements.

It will be interesting to ponder whether Levy would be willing to sanction a sale for a defender who clearly has a lot of talent and potential, however, has been forced to be on the bench. Moreover, Tottenham do lack in depth at the heart of defence, and letting go of the Romanian may not turn out to be a good idea.
