Dragusin will not leave Tottenham in the winter
Tottenham defender Radu Dragusin has not enjoyed the best of starts to life at the club and his plans of rejecting Bayern Munich for a move to north London seem to have fallen flat after failing to secure a regular berth in Ange Postecoglou’s starting eleven. Though minutes recently have come by for the player, he remains below Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven in the pecking order.
That has raised questions over his continuity at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, especially considering that the Romanian international is capable of playing as a regular for most European sides, some of them which are head and shoulders above Spurs. However, The Athletic has revealed Dragusin will not be allowed to depart north London in January.
Though the 22-year-old’s future has come under the scanner recently, there does not seem to be any concrete interest in his services but Spurs would not let him go on the cheap either, even if Dragusin were to seek an exit next summer. Having said that, he does have a few years left on his contract at Hotspur Way, so the club is in a very good bargaining position.
Tottenham’s decision to hold onto the player for the second half of the season comes as far from a surprise due to the fact that he has been a reliable back-up option. Moreover, Ange Postecoglou’s side could be playing in four competitions post-January as well if all goes according to plan and having a decent squad depth will be handy considering how many injuries the team has already faced.

It is unlikely for Dragusin’s role to improve significantly in the near future, especially once Romero and Van de Ven return, however, it can be comfortably assumed that his career will not take a nosedive keeping the busy Europa League and domestic cup calendar in mind. The defender’s situation will undoubtedly be re-evaluated in the summer, when his future could take a turn for Spurs’ worse.
