Radu Drăgușin's decision to change his number on the shirt for next season, from 6 to 3, attracted numerous critics from Tottenham's supporters. They revolted and played the announcement as a clear sign that Spurs will not buy a left defender this summer.
“We can confirm that Radu Drăgusin chose to wear the number 3 t -shirt at the first team of our club. The 23 -year -old defender, in recovery after a knee operation earlier this year, wore the number six since his arrival in Genoa, in January 2024.

I feel that this number represents me. I wear it to the national team for three years and I feel it really represents me – I am someone who is always ready to give everything for the team. Now I am very proud to wear it in northern London

The announcement made by The Spurs had quite quickly among the team supporters in the north of the Capital, some reactions being critical.
The Sun writes that Tottenham's fans have been perplexed at this unexpected move. “Given that the number 3 is traditionally left of a left defender, some Spurs supporters are disappointed with this change, especially since it suggests that Thomas Frank's team will no longer transfer anyone to this position before Mercato closing.” explains the English tabloid.

I hate this” and “Weird way to announce that again we do not buy anyone to reserve at Udogie” There are other messages that challenge the change revealed about Radu Drăgușin.
Destiny Udogie will probably miss the beginning of the season, being absent from Spurs' Asian tournament because of an injury, and the new manager was forced to use them in the summer friendships on this post on Djed Spence, Ben Davies and Micky van from the vein.
Palhinha took over 6. The number is the Portuguese talisman!
The number change of the Romanian international can be related to the fact that the 6 -back shirt will be taken over by Palhinha, who was just transferred from Bayern.
“Six means a lot to me because of my grandfather … It's the day he left our family and, since my grandfather died, if I look back, many important things in my life have happened on this 6th day.

I remember my first goal … Everything that was important in my career – not only in my career, but other aspects – most days have the number six.
I am a little superstitious and I think this number has an important significance for me and my family and that is why I want to keep, if possible, this number on the shirt, ”explained the 30 -year -old Portuguese international.
