Romanian central defender Radu Drăgușin was a starter in the match played by Tottenham against Fulham in the current round of the Premier League.
The 22-year-old Romanian was sent in from the first minute of the Tottenham – Fulham match by Ange Postecoglou (59 years old), marking his 7th consecutive start for the Romanian national team player.
With this appearance in the Premiership, Drăgușin made history, reaching 15 matches played in the Premier League and entering the top 10 Romanian players who have played in the English league over time.
In the top position, hard to reach, is Dan Petrescu, with 215 appearances, followed by Costel Pantilimon, with 54 appearances, and the podium is completed by Gabi Tamaș (45). Following are Ilie Dumitrescu, Adi Mutu, Vlad Chiriches, Florin Andone, Gica Popescu, and Ionel Ganea, with Drăgușin now securing the 10th spot.
Radu Drăgușin is also the most expensive Romanian in history, after being sold by Genoa for the sum of 25 million euros to Spurs.
