Tottenham Hotspur defender Radu Dragusin has been impressing massively during training at Hotspur Way.
The Romanian finally got some meaningful minutes on the weekend in the victory over Aston Villa.
And he will likely be called upon more by Ange Postecoglou due to the injury sustained by Micky van de Ven.
Radu Dragusin Tottenham appearances
It has been a slow start to life at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for Radu Dragusin after joining in the January transfer window.
The Romanian turned down offers from Bayern Munich and Napoli to join Spurs, but had had to bide his time,
His agent has been no stranger to voicing his thoughts since Dragusin joined Tottenham.
And he has now been speaking about what people inside the club have been saying about how well he’s been training at Hotspur Way.
Speaking to Fanatik, he said:
Dragusin’s time to shine
Although he has had to wait for his opportunity, it will be great for Spurs fans to hear how hard Dragusin has still been performing in training.
It was apparent the 22-year-old was not sitting on the bench through his own performances, but rather the high levels of Van de Ven and Cristian Romero.
And it is his high intensity in training which is probably to thank for his seamless transition into the side on the weekend.
That is the beauty of having quality strength in depth at the club.
When Spurs lost Van de Ven earlier in the season, it was a huge blow and even saw Postecoglou forced to play full-backs at centre-back.
This will allow the Dutchman with ample time to return to the action and return on the back of a full recovery.
It is unfortunate that these are the terms which Dragusin has been given his opportunity, but he will now be looking to make the most of the chance with a trip to Fulham on the weekend.
