Since making the switch from Genoa earlier this month, Radu Dragusin has played just five minutes for Tottenham Hotspur, so is his full debut around the corner? Ange Postecoglou offers some insight into the situation in his latest press conference (via Football.London).
With Spurs desperate to add a new centre-half to their squad this month, Radu Dragusin quickly emerged as their number one target for the role. And, after a protracted negotiation process that was nearly derailed by Bayern Munich, Tottenham got their man.
Dragusin had been expected to provide cover and competition for Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven in Ange Postecoglou‘s defence, but it just so happened that the pair both returned to full fitness soon after the Romanian arrived at the club.
Starting on the bench against Manchester United earlier this month, Dragusin was brought on late on as a substitute, getting just five minutes of action. He was then an unused substitute against Manchester City in the recent FA Cup tie.
So, will Dragusin get his big debut tomorrow against Brentford? Ange Postecoglou played down the idea in his latest press conference, insisting winning the game is his only concern.
He said: “I don’t know. What we will try to do is win the games. That is always my focus. It is not about preempting things. We will put out a team tomorrow that we believe can win a game of football.”

As long as both Romero and van de Ven are fit, it can only be those two that start the game, to be honest. I would love to see Dragusin get some more minutes and, if the game is under our control, I expect to see him midway through the second half. But, a start is very unlikely, I would say.
