Dragusin’s agent blamed for Tottenham exit talks

Tottenham Hotspur defender Radu Dragusin has been linked with departing north London in January having fallen behind Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven in Ange Postecoglou’s pecking order. The Romanian international has been linked with a January swoop to Serie A, where Juventus and Napoli are keen on adding his expertise.

With that said, Paul Robinson, a former Tottenham player believes the rumours regarding the centre back’s departure in the winter are actually wide of the mark. Moreover, the Englishman believes that the player’s agent has been responsible for circulating talk over his exit amid hopes that his client’s role at Spurs could improve as a result.

Tottenham Hotspur News quoted Robinson as saying the following words.

“Agents do that, players do that. They can get noises out there via various means, and now with the number of media outlets, it only takes one story for you to plant an acorn and soon you’ve got an oak tree. I don’t think Tottenham do any deals for Dragusin in January, loan or permanent. He’s only just signed and Spurs fans haven’t seen the best of him yet. He will get a run of games with Romero and van de Ven’s injury and disciplinary records.”

Indeed, Radu Dragusin’s sale in January seems like a very distant prospect irrespective of whether or not there is any truth behind claims linking him to the Serie A. Juventus require a central defender after an ACL injury to Gleison Bremer while Antonio Conte is also always on the lookout for fresh faces, and so the Italian duo might actually have an interest in Dragusin.

Nevertheless, he arrived at Spurs very recently and has been playing a decent share of minutes in the EFL Cup and the UEFA Europa League, although admittedly it is less than what he would like. There could be a better run ahead of him, however, as the FA Cup gets underway shortly while Postecoglou’s preferred duo is struggling with fitness.

It will be interesting to see what the player’s thoughts are on his future, though he has remained tight lipped and stayed away from the media in recent weeks.
