Good riddance.

Tottenham Hotspur supporters are wondering who exactly their club will bring in to vastly upgrade an attack that has been one of the Premier League's most anemic in recent weeks, putting up poor displays against the likes of Nottingham Forest and even Wolves during the current campaign.

Spurs struggle to score against most opponents, and that's even noting that new signings Randal Kolo Muani and Mohammed Kudus have been pretty successful. With Thomas Frank not giving Mathys Tel chances, the left wing position has been a vacuum devoid of goal scoring in the post Son Heung-min era, and now that Antoine Semenyo has already rejected Spurs, it's anyone's guess as to who will come in this January.

Meanwhile, Tottenham are pondering the sales they could make this winter, too, as there is a lot of dead weight in the squad that did not go in the summer. Manor Solomon is flunking out of Villarreal on loan after Spurs failed to sell him, Yves Bissouma is inexplicably still a member of the squad despite contributing nothing, and now Radu Dragusin is agitating for what could be a welcome move out.

Tottenham will be happy to sell

Dragusin's agent is busy making the rounds to reporters, and it is quite obvious that the former Serie A center back wants to leave Tottenham as soon as possible. His agent said, via Roma Press, “No one has called me yet. The situation is precarious. There are interests and offers from several clubs, including from England, but a smaller club than Tottenham. A big Italian club would be better.”

Well, the good news for Radu Dragusin and his agent is that all the Italian outlets are reporting that the big clubs in Italy are interested. Roma, AC Milan, Napoli, and Inter Milan have all been concretely linked, and a reunion with Juventus is also potentially on the table if the Bianconeri are able to clear out squad space for another center back.

Since joining in the January transfer window in 2024, Dragusin has, quite frankly, been a transfer bust. He has made ill disciplined errors, basic positional mistakes, and has not been on the level speed wise or on the ball of a Premier League center back. But he fit Serie A perfectly and was excellent there, and you can tell from that quote from his agent that they understand a move back to Italy is best for his career. He is a good defender, just not the right fit for Tottenham.
