24yo Tottenham loanee fails to win a single duel in 90 minutes as permanent exit clause faces fresh doubt
Story updated
The story in brief
6-second readTottenham Hotspur hopes of banking a permanent fee for the loanee next summer hit a bump on Thursday night in Italy.
From the source
Playing 90 minutes at centre back in Serie A without making a single tackle takes some doing. Yet that happened to Tottenham Hotspur loanee Radu Dragusin against Atalanta on Thursday.
According to FotMob data, he contested zero ground duels, lost both aerial battles, and hit one of four long passes. In fact, he finished with only one block, one interception, and one clearance.
Those numbers matter in North London because Tottenham want his loan move to become permanent next summer. Fiorentina agreed to buy the 24-year-old only if he hits set targets.
