Radu Dragusin is being linked with a move away from Tottenham Hotspur with the defender struggling to secure minutes for the first-team.

The defender has been linked with a move back to Italy less than 12 months on from his arrival in North London from Genoa.

The 22-year-old has made just three starts for Spurs this season with just one of them coming in the Premier League whilst Micky van de Ven was injured.

Dragusin has plenty of interest from Serie A clubs, including Napoli, where he is highly rated and his agent has been discussing the possibility of making a return to Italy.

Dragusin’s agent on leaving Tottenham in January

Dragusin’s agent, Florin Manea, has revealed that his player has no interest in leaving Tottenham at this stage in time.

The Roaminain is flattered by the interest from Italian clubs, however, he is focused on fighting for his place in Ange Postecoglou’s team.

Manea told CalcioNapoli24: “I haven’t spoken to anyone and I don’t think Tottenham want to let him go. Radu is focused and wants to play his chances with Spurs.

“I’ve seen the news too, but – I repeat – I haven’t heard from anyone. We like that so many teams are following him, but I’ve also told the others who have called me that, as of today, we’re not interested.”

His agent added that he is obviously disappointed by the lack of game time and they will need to evaluate the situation further down the line.

“No player is happy if he doesn’t play a lot, but he wants to fight for his place. We’ll see later how many games he’ll play and we’ll evaluate, at this moment it’s premature to think about a transfer,” said Manea.

Should Tottenham allow Dragusin to leave in January?

No is the answer. Tottenham will need Dragusin over the coming months as they play in four different competitions and a big squad is needed.

The 22-year-old has looked promising when presented with opportunities and with so many games coming up, his presence in the squad will be needed.

The Lilywhites face a busy run coming up with six games in the space of 18 days which includes games against AZ Alkmaar, Crystal Palace, Man City twice, Aston Villa and Galatasaray.
