Radu Dragusin’s Future at Tottenham
Radu Dragusin’s agent, Florin Manea, has expressed concerns about his client’s playing time at Tottenham Hotspur. Despite the defensive vulnerabilities Spurs have shown, particularly from set pieces, the young defender has struggled to break into the first team. Manea suggested that while the club currently intends to keep Dragusin, his future could be reconsidered if he remains a backup option. This situation highlights the ongoing adjustments within Tottenham’s defensive strategy, which could potentially shift to a three-at-the-back formation to improve security.
Strategic Exits and Potential Stays
As Tottenham prepares for the summer transfer window, they have identified several players they are open to selling, including Ben Davies, Richarlison, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, and Emerson Royal. Richarlison’s potential departure aligns with manager Ange Postecoglou’s desire to bring in a new out-and-out striker, signaling a possible shift in Tottenham’s attacking dynamics.
Conversely, players like Rodrigo Bentancur and Dejan Kulusevski are confirmed to stay, reflecting their importance to Postecoglou’s plans. Yves Bissouma remains in a precarious position; while not actively on the sale list, a substantial offer could prompt Spurs to reconsider.
Giovani Lo Celso and Manor Solomon Set to Depart
Giovani Lo Celso has decided to leave Tottenham this summer due to dissatisfaction with his role under Postecoglou. His departure is poised as several clubs have shown interest in the midfielder. Similarly, Manor Solomon is likely to exit, with Tottenham open to offers for the winger who has not managed to secure a significant role at the club.
Contract Talks and Acquisition Targets
Heung-Min Son is in discussions to finalize a new contract with Tottenham. With an option to extend his current deal by another year, the club remains optimistic about retaining the key forward. In terms of new acquisitions, Tottenham has expressed interest in Brentford’s Ivan Toney. However, Spurs are cautious about the financial aspect and are not willing to exceed £40 million due to Toney’s contractual situation at Brentford.
Timo Werner’s Uncertain Future
Tottenham has yet to decide on activating Timo Werner’s purchase option valued at €17 million. Werner’s comfort in London and the support from Postecoglou might influence Spurs’ decision, balancing his injury challenges against his potential contributions.
As Tottenham Hotspur recalibrates its squad ahead of the next season, the management’s approach reflects a blend of strategic sales and targeted acquisitions, aiming to build a balanced and competitive team suited to Postecoglou’s tactical vision.
