Tottenham have now reached a full exit agreement right after their signing of Radu Dragusin, with breaking news on Thursday morning.
With the acquisition of Timo Werner and Radu Dragusin already, the north Londoners are accomplishing the most of their business ahead of schedule, as manager Ange Postecoglou had expected.
Now that the January transfer window has arrived, FFC provides all the information you need to follow the winter transfer activity at your team.
Werner signs a six-month loan agreement with the possibility to extend it permanently in the summer, while Dragusin signs for almost £26 million, temporarily sending right-back Djed Spence packing.
Postecoglou, who stated that his team’s swift action thus early in the transfer window would be crucial, would be pleased with his team’s ability to quickly strengthen both the offense and defense.
Since it’s unlikely that we’ll recruit someone and have them immediately contribute to the team, if you can bring them in early you can ease them into training and our brand of football even if they don’t play. Regarding the Spurs transfers last month, Postecoglou remarked, “Maybe they could.”
On the other hand, depending on where they’re coming from and what league they’re in, if you wait until the end of January, it might not be until the middle to end of February before they catch up. As a result, there are several moving pieces. Indeed, I would want to do something early in the window, but even stating that presents a barrier for us because other clubs are aware of our desire to act early.”
When it comes to balancing the finances and cutting unneeded players from Postecoglou’s team, departures will be just as crucial. It looks like some significant progress has been made with regard to out-of-favour defender Eric Dier.
Tottenham reach agreement to sell Dier
The fact that Spurs would prefer to play a makeshift duo of Emerson Royal and Ben Davies while Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero are unavailable indicates that the 29-year-old is not at all included in Postecoglou’s plans.
Dier has been connected to a transfer to Bayern Munich, the team that Harry Kane, his old teammate, is presently flying for. “Done deal” is currently what Sky Sports reporter Florian Plettenberg says about Dier joining Bayern Munich, breaking news on Thursday morning.
The Englishman’s lengthy tenure at Spurs looks to be coming to an end. Although the last portion of his time there was memorable, he will be remembered as a devoted N17 employee.
