Ronny Rosenthal, a former Tottenham Hotspur attacker, told Romania’s iAMsport.ro that the signing of Radu Drăgușin from Genoa last week will help Spurs have stronger insurance for the centre-back position.
Ange Postecoglou’s first-choice center-back partnership this season has been Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven.
The Romanian international played consistently for Genoa, and his impressive performances for the Serie A team drew interest from a number of clubs. He turned down Bayern Munich’s approach and other clubs’ interest in joining Tottenham.

Drăgușin, according to iAMsport.ro, wants to compete with the top players in the Premier League, which is what motivated him to leave the Bundesliga champions for Spurs.
Responding to that, he said it would be difficult for Drăgușin to feature regularly for his new club.
“It’s almost the same to go to Tottenham or Bayern. I always tell young players to make career moves gradually. For him, obviously, it would be better to play matches at Genoa than to sit on the bench at Tottenham,” he said,
“I’m a Tottenham fan, maybe I don’t watch every match, but knowing what defenders are there, I don’t think he’ll start this season unless injuries occur. Personally, it won’t be good for him. It’s good for Tottenham because they will have cover for the two main defenders.”
The Romanian defender made his Tottenham debut when he came off the bench in Spurs’ 2-2 draw against Manchester United on Sunday.
