Tottenham now ready to make bid for 21-year-old who’s been compared with Virgil van Dijk

Tottenham Hotspur are now ready to make an offer for Radu Dragusin, with Ange Postecoglou’s side hoping to bring the Romania international to North London in the January transfer window.

It is little surprise to see links between Spurs and a new centre-back ramp up as the window looms. Micky van de Ven has missed the last few weeks with injury. And that has seen Ben Davies move in alongside Cristian Romero over the last few games.

Tottenham are now in talks to sign Jean-Clair Todibo. But it appears that the Frenchman is not the only player Spurs are stepping up their interest in, with the club also eyeing Radu Dragusin.

Spurs watched Dragusin play against his former club Juventus on Friday night. And it seems that they must have been impressed his display in the 1-1 draw.

Genoa want £30 million for the youngster. They had hoped to keep him for the rest of the campaign. But Tuttomercatoweb reports that Tottenham want to bring him in in January.

Another decent buy for Spurs

Dragusin is still proving himself at the very highest level. But only Lazio have conceded fewer goals than newly-promoted Genoa in the bottom-half of Serie A so far this season.

Meanwhile, previously noted that Dragusin has been compared with Virgil van Dijk due to his reading of the game and his composure in possession.

So he could prove to be a very shrewd signing at £26 million. Tottenham have certainly done some outstanding business in recent months.

Ange Postecoglou has transformed a number of players. And the likes of Guglielmo Vicario and van de Ven have proved to be outstanding additions.

And Spurs clearly think that Dragusin could be another who could prove to be an inspired buy.
