But the difficult difficult thing is for him. A long and difficult road awaits him until the first minutes in an official match. Especially since he has before him the holders in the center of the defensive, Cristian Romero and Micky Van, but also those who arrived after his injury, Kevin Danso and Kota Takai.
Is Radu Drăgușin's end approaching at Tottenham?
No more than Monday, the “To the Lane and Back” publication revealed that Franck wants to bring a new central defender, Nathan Collins, which he developed in Brentford. And that his purchase could be the end of Drăgușin at Spurs.
The arguments of British journalists? “Given that Romero and Van van are intangible in the defensive, Dans being obviously the third option, Drăgusin would remain outside if Collins comes. Genoa's former defender will suddenly become a surplus in a lot that does not need it.
Let us be honest, given that Tottenham still needs reinforcements in other compartments, you cannot continue to gather central defenders. And if you bring Collins, understanding that he is Frank's man, then it's hard to imagine how Drăgusin could withstand long term”, Writes the quoted publication.
