Tottenham is on a mission to fortify Ange Postecoglou’s injury-stricken squad during the January transfer window. Securing the loan deal for ex-Chelsea forward Timo Werner from RB Leipzig was just the beginning. Their sights are now set on outmaneuvering Bayern Munich to acquire Genoa’s center-back, Radu Dragusin.

Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano hints at Dragusin’s imminent decision regarding his future. Spurs have put forth an offer of £25 million along with loaning Djed Spence for the season’s remainder. Although Bayern has proposed a higher cash offer, they lack a player exchange. Nevertheless, Tottenham means serious business and anticipates a trio of additional transfers this January.

The injury-plagued defense, including setbacks to Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, and the recent sidelining of Ben Davies, along with a potential departure of Eric Dier, underscores the urgent need for defensive reinforcements. Versatile and youthful defenders are still on the radar, with links to talents like Lloyd Kelly and Tosin Adarabiyo.

Kelly’s uncertain future at Bournemouth, with his contract expiring soon, positions him as a potential solution for Spurs’ defensive woes at center-back and left-back. The prospect of securing him at a reasonable cost in January could be an enticing move.

Further up the pitch, Postecoglou’s interest in reuniting with his former Celtic prodigy, Jota, continues to swirl. The Al-Ittihad winger’s less-than-ideal start in Saudi Arabia might prompt a swift departure after a brief stint in the Middle East.

With Son Heung-min engaged in the Asia Cup and key players like James Maddison, Manor Solomon, Ivan Perisic, and Alejo Veliz sidelined due to injuries, Postecoglou aims to rejuvenate the attack. Reuniting with Jota could inject the squad with additional attacking vigor.
