‘Possibly’: Following Dragusin, reporter hints Tottenham might yet secure deal for 26-year-old defender

January 4, 2024

Tottenham’s first signing of the upcoming January transfer window appears to be Radu Dragusin. Agreement on personal terms is reportedly in place, bringing the deal closer to completion. While Dragusin’s arrival is expected to alleviate some of Spurs’ defensive concerns, the potential depth problem looms on the horizon.

With the anticipated departure of Eric Dier, Spurs are looking at a scenario where they would have only three senior center-backs in their squad, which may not suffice. Dean Jones, speaking on the Ranks FC Ultras Podcast, has suggested that Tottenham could explore the possibility of acquiring another defender, specifically mentioning Fulham’s Tosin Adarabioyo as a potential target.

Jones pointed out that despite the quieting of rumors around Tosin, Monaco’s signing of Kehrer might limit his options for a January move. Consequently, Jones wondered if Tottenham could potentially make a move for Tosin, even though it might be more plausible for such a transfer to take place in the summer rather than during the current month.

Fulham is unlikely to part ways with Tosin at this crucial juncture in the season, given his recent standout performances, especially with Bassey leaving for the African Cup of Nations and Ream dealing with injury. However, a silver lining for Spurs is that Tosin’s contract is set to expire at the season’s end, and it’s reported that he has no intentions of signing a new one, potentially paving the way for a free transfer to Tottenham after the season concludes.
