Tottenham Hotspur are thought to be keen on signing Genoa defender Radu Dragusin - but so are bitter rivals Arsenal.

Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur have allegedly joined the race to sign Genoa talent Radu Dragusin in 2024.

That is according to Tutto Juve reporter Mirko Di Natale, who claims that the race for Dragusin is on.

Tottenham are likely to be in the market for at least one defender in 2024 with Eric Dier set to leave as things stand.

Spurs may well look to strike a January deal and Dragusin is the latest in a long list of defenders being linked...

Tottenham Hotspur face Arsenal battle for Radu Dragusin Tutto Juve reporter Mirko Di Natale now claims that a host of Premier League clubs are interested in signing Dragusin.

It's stated that Newcastle United and Tottenham are now especially keen on Dragusin, battling AC Milan for the Genoa defender.

Di Natale does though add that Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United are also interested.

Dragusin, 21, has been featuring prominently for Genoa this season and he scored the winner against Verona on Friday.

The Romanian is a big talent and Tottenham may well fancy landing him as competition for Cristian Romero - another defender with history at Juventus and Genoa.

Calciomercato reported in January 2021 that Tottenham were keen to snatch Dragusin away from Juventus.

Agent Florin Manea then told Tutto Juve in April 2021 that Tottenham did have an offer on the table for Dragusin, but he rejected the move.

SerieBNews then added in November 2022 that Fabio Paratici was looking to lure Dragusin to North London once and for all.

Again, no deal was done, but Tottenham are once again being linked with a move for the Romanian defender.

Arsenal will be a threat too, but Spurs may hope that their long-term pursuit can finally pay dividends.
