Tottenham are pushing to conclude the transfer of Radu Dragusin from Genoa after agreeing a surprise loan deal for Red Bull Leipzig striker Timo Werner.
Genoa want around £26million for Romania defender Dragusin with Spurs understood to have made a verbal proposal around £21m.
Talks are ongoing on Monday as the 21-year-old hopes to join up with Spurs by the end of the week.
Dragusin joined Genoa permanently in the summer after having spent the previous season on loan from Juventus.
