European soccer expert Fabricio Romano said on his personal social networking service (SNS) on the 30th (Korean time), “Tottenham has entered into negotiations to recruit Genoa defender Radu Dragusin (21). Tottenham coach Anger Postecoglou (58) also signed Dragusin. has been approved. Tottenham will soon send an official bid,” he said.
In the winter transfer market, Tottenham prioritized recruiting a centre-back. Romano explained, “Tottenham want to finalize the central defender’s contract by next week. They are also in talks with Nice’s Jean-Clair Todibo (24), but are considering the possibility of a breakdown. Tottenham have other plans.”
Dragusin is a defender who left Juventus and transferred permanently to Genoa in 2023. He also showed off his attacking instincts, scoring 4 goals in 38 games in Serie B in the 2022-2023 season. In the 2023-2024 season, he is playing in Serie A. He has two goals in 18 games this season. In the game against league leader Inter Milan on the 30th, he scored an equalizer with a header from a corner kick in extra time in the first half. Genoa drew 1-1 with Inter Milan.
Tottenham is weighing several players. According to the UK’s ‘Team Talk’, Tottenham is also attempting to recruit Todibo, who is very active in France’s Ligue 1. The media reported, “Tottenham won the competition with Manchester United to recruit Todibo. Tottenham strongly wants to recruit a center back. Injuries to Mickey van der Pen (22) and Christian Romero (25) were serious.”

The expected transfer fee ranges from 43 million pounds (about 71.1 billion won) to 52 million pounds (about 85.9 billion won). “It’s at the same level,” he said. Meanwhile, Todibo’s current team, Nice, has no intention of letting him go. Nice is in second place in the 2023-2024 season and is chasing leader Paris Saint-Germain. ‘Team Talk’ said, “Nice is trying to keep Todibo in order to win the league. But Nice also knows that now is the right time to sell Todibo. Todibo’s price has soared.”
This is Manager Postekoglou’s second transfer window since taking office at Tottenham. In the summer, strikers Manor Solomon (24) and Alejo Velis (20), center back van der Pen and midfielder James Maddison (26) were recruited. Pedro Foro (24), who played on loan last season, also agreed to a permanent transfer to Tottenham. Gugliemo Vicario (26), a replacement for veteran goalkeeper Hugo Lloris (36), also arrived.
It was a successful transfer market, but the bad luck with injuries was painful. Maddison, Van der Pen and Solomon, who were brought in in the summer, are unable to play due to injuries. Tottenham’s momentum, which had been on a winning streak with 8 wins and 2 draws in 10 games, completely waned in November. Additional recruitment is essential. Coach Postekoglou also said through ‘Football London’, “We need reinforcement in all positions. I know that the winter transfer market is not easy.”
