Tottenham could loan Radu Dragusin to Premier League club in summer

Tottenham Hotspur centre-back Radu Dragusin may be loaned out to another Premier League club next season as his future at the North London side becomes increasingly uncertain.
The Romanian defender joined Spurs in January last year after the club fended off competition from Bayern Munich to secure his signature. However, his early days at the club were challenging, with the presence of Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven limiting his opportunities in the starting lineup. Dragusin managed just nine Premier League appearances in his first six months, starting only four games.
His struggles for game time continued into the new season, as Romero and Van de Ven remained the preferred centre-back pairing. The lack of minutes even led his outspoken agent to express concerns, hinting at a potential move away unless the player’s situation changed.
That opportunity arrived unexpectedly when injuries sidelined both Romero and Van de Ven, giving the Romanian an extended run in the team. The 23-year-old featured in 28 matches across all competitions, starting 25 of them, and looked set to establish himself as a key player.
However, his momentum was halted by a serious knee injury suffered during Tottenham’s 3-0 Europa League victory over IF Elfsborg, ruling him out for the remainder of the season.
In response, Spurs moved quickly in the January transfer market, eventually securing a deal for Kevin Danso, hijacking a move from Wolves to bring the Austrian defender to North London.
Danso has wasted no time making an impression, earning praise from both fans and pundits for his strong performances and leadership at the back. His emergence has now cast doubt over Dragusin’s role at the club moving forward, with suggestions that Spurs may opt to loan him out next season.
Tottenham could loan out Radu Dragusin to another Premier League club
According to Spurs insider John Wenham, Tottenham could consider sending the centre-back on loan to another Premier League club, especially if Romero remains at the club amid reported interest from Real Madrid.
Speaking to Tottenham News, Wenham stated:
“Kevin Danso has really impressed me in his first few games at Spurs.”
“He looks strong, he goes about his business well, and he has a good recovery pace. When I asked fans what they thought on social media, a lot of people have suggested he is better than Dragușin.”
“Therefore, I think Romero will probably move on in the summer. However, if he were to remain at Tottenham, the club could consider sending Dragușin out on loan to a Premier League side, to see what he can do at that level, playing week in, week out as the main man.”
“That would leave Romero, Micky van de Ven and Danso as the three options. However, I do think it is highly unlikely that Romero stays at this point.”
With uncertainty surrounding Romero’s future, Tottenham will have a key decision to make regarding Dragușin. If Romero departs, the Romanian may still have a role to play at Spurs. However, if he stays, a loan move could provide Dragusin the regular game time he needs to continue his development and prove his long-term value to the club.
