Tottenham have made an opening bid for Genoa defender Radu Dragusin, according to reports, as the transfer tug-of-war between them and Bayern Munich starts to intensify. It comes as Spurs are in desperate need to reinforce their ranks over the coming weeks to help Ange Postecoglou.
The north London outfit have impressed under their new head coach, despite a number of potentially mitigating circumstances. Not only has there been a total overhaul of the type of football the team play, but the loss of their captain and the all-time top goalscorer Harry Kane won't have helped.
Spurs continued moving forwards nonetheless with their new way of playing, picking up results before yet more adversity charged them down. A number of key injuries and suspensions appeared to hit within a few games and Postecoglou was left short of options to pick from.
A few poorer results followed, but they turned around eventually as the squad are hopeful of a brighter new year and their chances of a top four finish. January could be crucial to that charge though, offering the chance to reinforce the ranks for the second half of the campaign.
football.london understands that Timo Werner is set to become the first signing of the month, joining on a six-month loan spell from RB Leipzig. The former Chelsea striker will look to provide competition up front and should he impress, there is an option worth no more than £15.5million in the deal to make it permanent.
