22-year-old Tottenham player linked with surprise summer move

Tottenham Hotspur signed Radu Dragusin from Genoa during the January transfer window.

The 22-year-old has struggled to hold down a regular starting spot at the club and he is thought to be unhappy with his situation. According to a report from Area Napoli, Italian giants Napoli are keen on the player and the defender could consider a summer move.

The report states that the Romanian defender could consider a loan move during the summer transfer window so that he can regain his form and confidence. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can convince him to stay at the club and provide him with the necessary game-time assurances.

Dragusin is a talented young player with a bright future ahead of himself. He needs to play regularly and Tottenham have not been able to provide him with that opportunity so far. Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven are the first-choice central defenders at the club and it remains to be seen how Ange Postecoglou accommodates Dragusin in his starting lineup.

Can Tottenham hold on to Radu Dragusin?

Tottenham have been linked with other central defenders in recent weeks as well. There is no doubt that they need to add more quality and depth to the squad, but they will have to provide more first-team opportunities to talented young players like Dragusin.

The highly talented defender has the physicality and technical attributes to do well in English football, and he will be desperate to establish himself as a key starter for the North London club.

Signing the player on loan during the summer transfer window will be superb bit of business for Napoli as they look to strengthen their defence. It remains to be seen how the situation unfolds over the next few weeks.
