This week in the media, Ange Postecoglou expressed his desire to bring in a center-back for Tottenham in January in a very transparent manner.
Spurs need reinforcements in that area, and the Australian made it obvious. It appears that Spurs have found their guy.
In fact, Fanatik claims that Radu Dragusin from Genoa is about to sign a contract with Tottenham.
This is an amazing move, to put it mildly, and the deal is reportedly valued €30 million (£25 million).
Dragusin is a promising young artist with a ton of space to improve, even at just 21 years old.

The fact that the player himself based his strategy on Virgil van Dijk is, to put it mildly, really thrilling.
Naturally, you should take these reports from overseas transfer rumors with a grain of salt, just like you would with any other transfer rumor, but the player’s agent has previously been extremely transparent about speaking with Fanatik, and this is a very Spurs move.
It’s true that Tottenham has recently embraced dabbling in the Serie A market, so bringing in a new defender from Genoa makes perfect sense.
Fabio Paratici will be familiar with Dragusin because he was formerly signed by Juventus. Although Paratici isn’t employed by Spurs, he is reportedly involved in a lot of advisory work for the team, so we wouldn’t be surprised if he made this recommendation.
It appears that Tottenham is finishing up their January business early for the first time in a long time, and based on the sounds of things, Dragusin might be the first player through the door in north London this winter.
It’s unclear if more additions are in the works, but given Spurs’ current lack of depth in the midfield, we wouldn’t be surprised if that position was the next to go.
Dragusin is an intriguing player, and if this trade is approved, it will be interesting to watch how he performs in the Premier League.
