Michael Dawson has voiced his joy that Radu Dragusin is close to joining Tottenham Hotspur in January
When Spurs fans went to bed last night, they would have feared waking up to see Bayern Munich hijack their move for the Genoa player.
However, sources have told HITC Football that Radu Dragusin has chosen Ange Postecoglou’s team over the Bundesliga champions.
When ex-Tottenham centre-back heard the news, he said it was’massive’, according to Sky Sports News.
It now allows the Spurs boss to play a genuine centre-back at the heart of the defence rather than a fullback, as injuries and suspensions have hampered him in previous weeks.
Micky van de Ven has returned from the treatment room, but Cristian Romero remains on the sidelines, so it will be intriguing to see who starts against Manchester United on Sunday.
In any case, Radu Dragusin’s involvement with Michael Dawson’s reaction to his capture is not surprising.
Tottenham defeated Bayern Munich to Radu Dragusin
“It’s massive for Spurs,” Dawson remarked. “That’s undoubtedly a job they’ve looked into. When Ange Postecoglou arrived, you had Ben Davies and Eric Dier. He like speed at the back. I believe we must acknowledge Ben Davies‘ exceptional performance. He’s been great.
“But look at Micky van de Ven’s injury, Romero’s suspension, and his current injury. You look at that position and think, “Can Spurs really deal with it?” Now, with the new signing, it appears that it will happen. He is young, eager to learn, and will provide competition to Micky van de Ven and Romero.
“I think it’s a very great signing. You just mentioned, ‘Bayern Munich were looking at him’. It only goes to demonstrate where Spurs are going and how vital it was to finalize this transaction; it’s a good signing.”
Ange Postecoglou is backed
You can’t deny that Spurs have been effective in acquiring the players Postecoglou requires from the transfer market.
Based on the success rate of the summer transfer window, if the January window resembles it, Spurs will be very dangerous in the second half.
Tottenham has been here before. When Antonio Conte came, they signed Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur in the winter.
These two additions helped propel the team to a top-four finish, ahead of Arsenal, and the same might happen again.
