91% pass accuracy, 56 touches, 90 minutes played”- Struggling Tottenham player’s proves DOUBTERS wrong after Exceptional display at int’l duty on Friday night
Tottenham Hotspur fans are getting a brief respite from Premier League action with the final international window of the season.
As has become customary for Tottenham, the Lilywhites suffered defeat in their last match before the international break, losing to Ipswich Town in a disappointing result.
Ange Postecoglou’s squad has plenty to address when they resume play, starting with a challenging away trip to Manchester City. Spurs are also dealing with several key injuries, including Micky van de Ven and now Cristian Romero, who has also been sidelined.
With the festive period approaching and options in defense becoming limited, Radu Dragusin, currently on international duty, has added some depth to the squad. Dragusin, who impressed during Romania’s 1-1 draw with Kosovo on Friday, played the full 90 minutes before the game was abandoned.
While Dragusin has struggled at times for Spurs, and recent speculation about a potential move to Real Madrid seems premature, he is now crucial to Tottenham’s defensive options given the injury crisis. His performance for Romania, where he had a 91% pass accuracy, one shot, and several key defensive contributions, offers a glimpse of his potential.
Postecoglou has previously praised Dragusin, particularly in their clash against Manchester City, though his more recent appearances for Spurs haven’t been as impressive. There is also the possibility of a return to Italy, with Napoli reportedly interested in the defender ahead of the January transfer window.
While Dragusin’s performance against lesser opposition may not be directly comparable to the Premier League’s demands, it should provide a much-needed confidence boost. With Tottenham facing potential transfer interest in Romero, Dragusin has an important opportunity to prove himself as a viable starter. If Spurs decide to sell Romero, they’ll need someone to fill his spot, and Dragusin’s performances in the coming months will be crucial for his future at the club.
Guglielmo Vicario has been impressed by Dragusin behind the scenes, and now it’s time for the £26m defender to show what he’s capable of on the pitch for Tottenham.
