My Take
Radu Drăgușin is one of those defenders who makes you do a double-take — born in 2002, already playing for Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League, and captaining Romania at senior level before most players his age have figured out their careers. He came up through Juventus, which tells you everything about the ceiling people saw in him from early on, and when Spurs splashed out for him in January 2024 it felt like a genuine statement signing. At 194 cm he's an imposing physical presence, but what I find interesting is he's not just a bruiser — there's composure and reading of the game there that you rarely see in someone so young. Romania's defensive spine now genuinely runs through him, and I'm fully here for watching this kid grow into what looks like a real top-level career.
