Radu Drăgușin, the 22-year-old Romanian defender, finds himself at the center of speculation regarding his future at Tottenham Hotspur. Although Drăgușin was on the bench during Spurs’ 4-1 victory over West Ham United this past weekend, his playing time has been limited. He has not featured for Tottenham since the end of September, further fueling rumors about a potential move in the upcoming January transfer window.
Limited Opportunities at Tottenham
Drăgușin’s current situation at Tottenham has raised concerns about his future at the club. Since the start of the season, he has made only four appearances across all competitions. This lack of consistent playing time has led to growing uncertainty, particularly as reports emerge of interest from clubs in Serie A.
Serie A Clubs Eyeing Drăgușin
Italian media have reported that multiple Serie A clubs are keeping tabs on Drăgușin, with an eye on securing his services during the January transfer window. One of the most prominent clubs linked with the Romanian defender is Inter Milan, adding to speculation that Drăgușin could be on his way back to Italy.
Potential Swap Deal with Inter Milan
Recent reports from Inter Live, an Italian outlet close to the club, suggest that Inter Milan and Tottenham are considering a potential player swap in the winter transfer window. The proposed deal would see Drăgușin join the reigning Serie A champions, while Inter would send German defender Yann Bisseck to Tottenham in exchange.
Both Drăgușin and Bisseck have struggled to secure regular playing time at their respective clubs, which has opened the door for a potential swap. Bisseck, much like Drăgușin, has found it difficult to break into Simone Inzaghi’s starting eleven at Inter Milan, leading to speculation that both players could benefit from a change of scenery.
Drăgușin’s Previous Links to Napoli
This isn’t the first time Drăgușin has been linked with a move to Serie A this season. Earlier reports suggested that Napoli, another Serie A giant, was also interested in the young Romanian defender. However, Inter Milan now seems to have taken the lead in the race for his signature, with the potential swap deal involving Bisseck gaining traction.
A January Move on the Horizon?
With January approaching, the rumors surrounding Drăgușin’s future are likely to intensify. Tottenham’s lack of consistent involvement for the Romanian defender and the growing interest from Serie A suggest that a move could be on the cards. For now, both Drăgușin and Tottenham will have to weigh their options carefully as they approach the winter transfer window.
Whether the young defender remains at Spurs or makes a return to Italy, one thing is clear: Drăgușin’s future is still very much up in the air, and the coming months could prove pivotal for his career.
