Florin Manea – the agent of Tottenham No.6 Radu Dragusin – has provided an update on the Romanian.

The 43-year-old made the comments during an interview with Fanatik.

So, what was said about Tottenham defender Radu Dragusin? Let’s take a look…

Radu Dragusin update

Well, the Romania international blocked a cross from Matty Cash in the 76th minute of Sunday’s 4-0 win over Aston Villa, but at some personal cost.

The ball hit Dragusin’s nether regions – understandably causing him to drop down to the turf in pain.

Manea was asked about that incident, and told Fanatik: “He got that shot in the groin and I asked him if he was okay. He had a ball that he received directly in the line of the Dragusin family. He said it’s okay… he fixed it.

“He was happy and that’s normal, because that’s what he wanted. He wanted to play in the Premier League and he succeeded. He doesn’t think it’s any harder and feels like he’s in a rhythm. He feels good, but he noticed the difference in quality.”

Dragusin stepped in from the bench to cover Micky van de Ven – who suffered a hamstring injury just minutes into the second half on Sunday.

It was the 22-year-old’s first proper taste of life in the Premier League following his £26m move from Genoa in January, playing 41 minutes against the Villans.

Dragusin had only previously received eight minutes of Premier League action across three substitute appearances under Ange Postecoglou before Van de Ven’s injury.

How Tottenham No.6 fared on Sunday

The man from Bucharest impressed in just 41 minutes of action on Sunday.

As SofaScore shows, Dragusin recorded one clearance, one interception, two blocks and 44 touches at Villa Park, with Spurs scoring all four of their goals while he was on the pitch.

The January signing also completed 34 successful passes from an attempted 39 – giving him a success rate of 87% in the Midlands.

Of course, Van de Ven is almost irreplaceable thanks to his remarkable speed, but Dragusin proved he is capable of being a worthy backup with a fine display against Aston Villa.
