Ange Postecoglou has additionally added central defender Radu Dragusin to his array of selections at the back. The Romanian ace arrived on a permanent deal from Serie A outfit Genoa beforehand this month.
Tottenham still prefer any other new centre-back
Despite the 21-year-old giant’s arrival in North London, Spurs are reportedly fascinated in a deal to sign any other central defender to bolster their squad. They already have Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, and Dragusin, along with Emerson Royal and Ben Davies as makeshift options, but are now eager to have a fourth natural centre-back to compete for a vicinity in the side.
According to French outlet Telefoot, Tottenham are certainly nonetheless one of the clubs eyeing a swoop to sign Jean-Clair Todibo from Nice as Daniel Levy looks to lower back Postecoglou in the transfer market.

However, it also provides that Nice value Todibo at €60m (£51m), and do no longer choose to cash in on him before the present day transfer window slams shut. This potential that all three golf equipment may additionally have to wait until the stop of the season to secure his services.
Levy is pursuing a deal to signal Todibo, as evidenced via the talks with the player’s representatives, and ought to lay the groundwork this month to strike an agreement with Nice in the summer, but it’s awful information for any hopes of a move this month.
Todibo vs Dragusin
