According to Tuttomercatoweb and Gazzetta Dello Sport, Tottenham Hotspur target Radu Dragusin is set to sign a new deal with Juventus.

Calciomercato reported in January that Tottenham and Newcastle United both wanted to sign Dragusin, with RB Leipzig also keen.

Gazzetta then claimed that Newcastle had an offer on the table to Dragusin, whilst Crystal Palace were also interested in a deal.

Juve were seemingly struggling to get an agreement in place, but the new reports claim that a five-year deal is now imminent.

The Italian giants appear to have done enough to convince Dragusin to stay, making him believe that he can play first-team football in Turin.

Dragusin is a 6ft 3in centre back with huge potential at the age of just 19, and has been with Juve since arriving from Regal Sport Bucuresti in his native Romania back in 2018.

His contract was set to expire this summer, meaning Newcastle or Tottenham could have landed themselves an absolute bargain.

Now though, Dragusin looks to have snubbed the Premier League in favour of staying with Juve, leaving Newcastle and Spurs to go back to the drawing board as they pursue a new defender.
