Tottenham’s deal for defender now at the risk of collapsing
Fabrizio Romano has claimed Tottenham’s deal for Jean-Clair Todibo is on the risk of collapsing.
Spurs are in hunt of a defender and have been linked with several players including Genoa’s Radu Dragusin and Nice’s Jean-Clair Todibo.
Todibo had reportedly been Tottenham’s top target for some time, but recently, they’ve started pursuing an alternative, the 21-year-old Romanian Dragusin.
According to Romano, time is a priority for Tottenham due to their current squad issues, as they cannot afford prolonged negotiations in this transfer window. They aim to secure a defender deal at the beginning of January.
It is said that negotiations with the French club is not easy and would be time-consuming which is why they turned their focus on Dragusin.
Reports suggest talks are in an advanced stage, and a bid could be imminent. Romano indicates that the player has already approved a move to Spurs.
This development has put the Todibo deal at the risk of collapsing as claimed by the transfer expert himself.
He shared the update on X:
Dragusin’s arrival will undoubtedly bolster Tottenham’s defense, and signings of his caliber could help Spurs’ push for a top-four finish.
