In a report by Dean Jones, it was revealed that Tottenham has been diligently monitoring the progress of a defender for a period spanning over 18 months. It is now anticipated that the club will officially introduce the player as their premier January acquisition, and this announcement is expected to occur within the following week.
The management at Tottenham is expressing confidence in their ability to swiftly reach a mutually acceptable agreement regarding the terms of the player’s contract. The focus has now shifted towards finalizing a deal with the Italian club in question.
According to Jones, it is anticipated that the final transfer fee for the defender will be below the £25 million mark.
In a recent statement made on the Ranks FC Ultras Podcast, Dean Jones confidently stated, “It’s advanced beyond mere inquiry at this point. I’ve been informed that they are assured that reaching an agreement on personal terms won’t present any issues. It’s simply a matter of finalizing the transfer terms and agreeing on the fee. I believe it will be under £25 million. If everything falls into place, it should happen this week. Spurs have approximately six contingency plans in place should this arrangement fall through, but their intention is to unveil this signing by next week.”
Tottenham has made contingency plans in the event that this transfer does not materialize, and the coming days will shed light on the evolving situation.
The journalist also disclosed that Dragusin was not initially Tottenham’s preferred choice leading into the January window, as their preference was towards securing the services of Jean-Clair Todibo from OGC Nice. However, the prospects of signing the French international defender this month seem exceedingly slim, prompting Tottenham to shift their focus to the 21-year-old Romanian central defender.
Dragusin is a remarkably promising young talent who has already demonstrated his prowess as one of the most talented young defenders in the Italian league. It is believed that he possesses the attributes to excel in the competitive environment of the Premier League. He could potentially become a valuable long-term asset for Tottenham, and under the guidance of Ange Postecoglou, the player may have the opportunity to fully realize his considerable potential through consistent playing time in the Premier League.
Should Tottenham successfully secure his services for a fee in the region of £25 million, it could very well prove to be an exceptional and enduring investment for the club.
