Tottenham ‘agree’ second January transfer after Timo Werner on five-year deal
Tottenham have been quick to act in the January transfer window after a positive start to the season.
Tottenham have reached a full agreement with Genoa to sign defender Radu Dragusin with Djed Spence heading in the other direction, according to reports. Spurs’ proposed long-term contract could see the Romanian follow Timo Werner to north London, with both deals on the brink of completion, but Bayern Munich may still have a say in race for Dragusin.

Eric Dier is set to depart the team before the end of the month, but for the remainder of the season this week.
As a result, Spurs chairman Daniel Levy started looking for alternatives, and talks to acquire Dragusin have moved rather swiftly. A comprehensive agreement including an initial £21.5 million price plus add-ons has reportedly been negotiated with Genoa, according to Sky Germany.
Additionally, trade guru Fabricio Romano asserts that Djed Spence, a Tottenham misfit, will be going elsewhere on loan. Bayern is still speculating and threatening to submit a bid of their own, so the deal is not quite finalized.
