Radu Drăgușin (22 years old) was transferred by Tottenham from Genoa at the beginning of 2024, and Ange Postecoglu made a statement full of sincerity almost a year after the Romanian arrived in London.
Although he didn’t get as many minutes as he wanted and was used to at Genoa, Radu Drăgușin is praised by Ange Postecoglu, the coach who strongly desired him at Tottenham. The Australian praised the way Drăgușin adapted to Tottenham and how he developed his qualities.
At the beginning of 2024, Radu Drăgușin turned down offers from Napoli and Bayern Munich in order to transfer to the Premier League, at Tottenham.
"Radu has been with us for almost a year and I think he has done great. We signed him because we saw very good qualities in him defensively, his mentality. He has all the qualities we wanted in a central defender.
He is still young and works hard every day to improve his game. Defenders tend to get better with age, experience. The reason we signed him, along with Micky (note: Van de Ven), Destiny (note: Udogie), they will get better with age.
He is adapting to our style of play, different from where he came from. We play aggressively, with a high defensive line, but he is starting to get used to it and like it. I think he did very well against Manchester City (note: in the English League Cup). I saw his football, presence, and behavior on the field, leadership qualities," said Ange Postecolgu, as quoted by the English press.
