Tottenham fans send urgent transfer request to Daniel Levy after what they saw in win over Elfsborg

Tottenham Hotspur are safely through to the last 16 of the Europa League after seeing off Elfsborg in North London on Thursday night.

𓄧Spurs had to wait to open the scoring against a strong Elfsborg defence but they went on to break the deadlock in the 70th minute.

𝓀Dane Scarlett, not long recalled from his loan at Oxford United, headed home from Dejan Kulusevski’s cross just four minutes after coming off the bench.

Fellow academy talent Damola Ajayi then doubled Tottenham’s🍌 lead with a superb debut goal in the 84th minute of the match.

🥃The 19-year-old drove in from the right, played the ball into Scarlett’s path and put the return pass low into the bottom-right corner of the net.

𓃲Then, in injury time, Mikey Moore netted his first for Tottenham with a drive into the bottom-left corner.

൲Although Tottenham won comprehensively, there was still a major cause for concern that led to Spurs fans making a late transfer request.

Tottenham fans call for new centre-back after Radu Dragusin comes off

🌸Tottenham have been in the midst of an injury crisis for most of the season, with the back line mostly affected.

🍬Radu Dragusin became the latest Spurs defender to have to come off, going down just after the hour with an apparent knee issue.

꧙Although Dragusin attempted to continue after receiving treatment on the pitch, he ended up going down in pain and had to come off.

🀅As a result, Tottenham fans called for the club’s hierarchy to make a new centre-back a priority before the transfer window shuts on Monday.

💞“With Dragusin now injured, we NEED to sign another CB,” one fan wrote on X.

🦩“Currently playing an 18-year-old midfielder and a 31-year-old LB at centre-back… both doing all they can.”

⛎Another fan said: “Dragusin injured now. We are cursed. Sign a CB urgently.”

💖The calls kept coming, with one supporter saying: “I hope Dragusin is okay. Spurs had better redirect that €60m to an actual CB.”

🔜Another wrote: “On everything please forget about Mathys Tel. Dragusin now injured. Need a CB immediately.”

Another added, in the context of Spurs’ talks over Mathys Tel🐼: “Unless we sign a CB or 2, he may have to play on the back line lol.

🐬“Especially if Dragusin is going to be out for any amount of time.”

Who is currently out for Tottenham

🐎Spurs have had multiple key players out of contention for much of the season and, as things stand, nine players are unavailable.

🌳Dominic Solanke, Guglielmo Vicario, James Maddison, Destiny Udogie, Brennan Johnson, Timo Werner, Cristian Romero, Djed Spence and Wilson Odobert are currently out.

🎃Spence is expected to be back by the weekend, however, while the likes of Micky van de Ven, Richarlison, Ben Davies and Mikey Moore have recently returned after being on the sidelines.
