TOP STORY: Tottenham prepare first offer for Dragusin
Tottenham Hotspur are ready to send a first verbal offer for Genoa centre-back Radu Dragusin, as has been reported by Fabrizio Romano.
Talks have already been opened between the two clubs regarding a move and the 21-year-old has said yes to joining the Premier League club.
Spurs have endured their struggles at centre-back in recent times, with Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero both injured while Eric Dier has found game time scarce under manager Ange Postecoglou.
Those struggles were epitomised in Spurs’ most recent match, a 4-2 loss against Brighton & Hove Albion, in which they never had a recognised centre-back on the pitch.

The side currently placed fifth in the Premier League have also been looking at Nice‘s Jean-Clair Todibo.
Any deal for the 24-year-old could collapse soon, though, as reaching an agreement with the Ligue 1 club would be a slow process and Spurs want their new centre-back to join them next week.
It appears that Dragusin will be that man, with the Romania international having impressed in Serie A this term after helping Genoa reach the top tier with promotion from Serie B last season.
The former Juventus defender has made 18 appearances this campaign and even chipped in with two goals.
