Huge Tottenham transfer blow as swap offer sees Euro giants take ‘pole’ in race for Newcastle target

Tottenham could miss out on Radu Dragusin in the January transfer window as AC Milan have reportedly taken ‘pole’ in the race to sign the Genoa defender.

Ange Postecoglou has been a great addition to Spurs, as the former Celtic manager’s attacking style of play has won over fans.

Early in the season, Postecoglou’s team led the Premier League; but, after Micky van de Ven and James Maddison sustained injuries, they had a little downturn.

However, confidence that they can place in the top four and perhaps even contend for the championship before the season ends has grown after they have won five of their past six games across all competitions.

After 20 games, Tottenham is currently in fifth place, one point behind Premier League champions Liverpool and

six goals fewer than Arsenal. Now, Daniel Levy and the other board members of the Spurs are trying to help Postecoglou.

With Timo Werner, a forward for RB Leipzig, scheduled to depart in the next few days to finalize his loan move to North London, they have already all but closed a deal for the Germany international.

Their next goal is to sign a new center back, as Postecoglou is eager to strengthen his team’s depth there after Tottenham has struggled at the position this season.

They will once more require a new defender as there are rumors that Eric Dier may finalize his transfer to Bayern Munich before the end of January.

Additionally, it has been stated that Tottenham has made Genoa’s Dragusin their priority target after ruling out a transfer for Nice’s Jean-Clair Todibo. The Serie A defender has received verbal proposals from Tottenham.

According to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, Tottenham hopes to “sign Dragusin by next week,” and a “deal is absolutely on” for the Romanian international.

La Repubblica, an Italian tabloid, asserts that Milan is ‘on pole’ for Dragusin and that a partial exchange agreement is luring Genoa.

Lorenzo Colombo is a “very popular” option at Genoa. He is presently on loan at Serie A team Monzo from Milan.

with the Italy Under-21 international holding ‘the key that can allow Milan to overtake any rival’.

Milan could use Colombo ‘as a counterpart’ in their attempt to beat Tottenham to Dragusin’s signature with the report adding that Newcastle have also enquired about the defender.
