They needed to bring in defensive reinforcements and the Romanian should prove to be a quality long-term acquisition. He has proven his quality in the Italian league with Genoa and he is certainly good enough to do well in the Premier League as well.
A move to the Premier League will be a major step in the defenderâs career, but he can thrive in English football and establish himself as a reliable performer in the top flight.
Meanwhile, former Spurs winger Ilie Dumitrescu is delighted to see his compatriot join his former club, and he has predicted that the 21-year-old will have a brilliant career.
âTottenham are a big, traditional club in England, but I have no doubt that DrÄguČin will prevail. And I donât hesitate to say that he will have a brilliant career,â said Dumitrescu to GSP.
âI am very glad that Radu DrÄguČin chose Tottenham, my former team. A great chance.â
Spurs fans will certainly hope so. Dragusin is still only 21 and he is likely to improve with coaching and experience. If he manages to fulfil his potential at the Premier League club, the transfer could look like a major bargain in the long run.
Tottenham have looked vulnerable defensively in recent weeks and it will be interesting to see if the Romanian defender can help them tighten up at the back. He will be expected to hit the ground running and help the Londoners secure their place in the Champions League next season.
