Tottenham agree personal terms for centre back, but second deal to collapse

Ange Postecoglou’s first objective in January is strengthening the defence, and Spurs are supposedly close to making one acquisition.

One centre back is supposedly close to joining Tottenham Hotspur in January, while another defender deal is apparently off.

Due to injuries to first-choice centre backs Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven, Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou has prioritised signings at the back.

Due to the unavailability of those two players, Postecoglou was compelled to start Eric Dier in the backfield after the Australian manager originally frozen out Ben Davies and Emerson Royal.

Radu Dragusin, a Romanian centre defender for Genoa, is supposedly on the verge of signing with Spurs ahead of the January transfer window.

Fabrizio Romano said on X (previously Twitter): “Tottenham are prepared to send first verbal bid for Radu Dragusin after talks opened with Genoa, as revealed last night.”

He continued, saying, “Dragusin already said yes.”

The Italian newspaper claims that while Genoa is holding out for €30 million, Spurs is eager to arrange a trade for €25 million. Discussions are still going on.

However, there is less good news about another January transfer target; it is now believed that a deal for Nice defender Jean-Clair Todibo is improbable.

“Todibo deal could collapse soon – as timing with OFC Nice will be slow and Tottenham want new CB to join next week,” Romano said.

Todibo, who previously had a brief time at Barcelona, has also been connected to a transfer to Manchester United.
