Spurs target unreal upgrade of Dragusin into ‘unbelievable’ £29m superstar
There’s no escaping it now: this season has been terrible Tottenham Hotspur.
In fact, the only thing stopping it from being a full-blown disaster is the fact that the club has one League Cup semi-final to wait.
However, when it comes to your Premier League shape, by Ange Posetcoglou The team has struggled and while some blame must lie at the manager’s feet, he has been dealt a bad hand in the form of a back injury crisis.
So recent reports linking the club with someone who could solve the manager’s biggest problem and serve as an upgrade to Radu Dragusin should excite fans.
Tottenham Hotspur transfer news
According to recent Caught Offside reportTottenham is one of 11 teams interested in the Paris Saint-Germain defender Milan Skriniar.
Alongside the Lilywhites, the report claims Napoli, Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Aston Villa, Real Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen, Roma and Atletico Madrid are interested in the experienced defender .
However, while this level of outside interest is far from ideal for the north Londoners, the good news is that it may not cost him an arm and a leg to sign, as history has revealed that PSG will put him available for around 35 million euros. £29m – next month, and could be willing to drop as low as €25m – £21m – in negotiations.
All in all, it could be an incredibly tricky transfer to get over the line, but given Skriniar’s ability and experience, it’s worth pursuing, especially since it would be an upgrade for Dragusin and help solve Ange’s biggest problem .
How does Skriniar compare to Dragusin
So of all the problems Postecoglou has faced at Spurs this season, the defensive injury crisis has been the biggest.
Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero and Ben Davies have all missed significant chunks of the season so far, leaving 18-year-old Archie Gray and error-prone Dragusin to form a makeshift centre. and quite fragile. collaboration back, and now it looks like the second he’ll be out for a while too.
So by signing a new defender, the club will address, and hopefully resolve, the Australian’s biggest pressure this season.
Also, if the centre-back they sign ends up being Skriniar, that will also push Dragusin further down the pecking order, as while he’s had some decent performances, he’s also had too many.
For example, he received a red card on his European debut for the team, gifted a goal to Victor Osimhen against Galatasaray and looked completely clueless against Rangers.
However, PSG’s “amazing” gem, com voiced by journalist Jerry Mancinihe would be a brilliant addition to the squad in his own right and not just as an upgrade on the Romanian.
For example, he has bags and bags of experience, doing 246 games with Inter Milan i winning the league in Italy and France while he has also made 77 appearances for Slovakia.
Also, as well as being a 6ft 2 titan who certainly wouldn’t be bullied in the Premier League, he’s not stuck with the ball at his feet, like FBref, which compares players in similar positions in Europe’s top five leagues, it places him in the top 1% of centre-backs for passes attempted and passes completed, per 90.
Ultimately, Spurs are in desperate need of new defenders as not only do their starting centre-backs look injury-prone, but their replacements aren’t good enough.
The north Londoners should therefore go all out to sign Skriniar next month as he would be the perfect solution to this problem.
