John Wenham claims Tottenham defender Radu Drăgușin "isn't going anywhere."
The owner of the reputable Spurs podcast Lilywhite Rose has described speculation linking the Romanian away from the club as "a complete waste of time."
As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport (4 November), Juventus are interested in signing Drăgușin on loan in January, with the move described as not impossible.
However, Wenham - speaking exclusively to Tottenham News - thinks the player is too important in North London to be allowed to leave on loan.
“There is zero chance of that happening,” Wenham said.
“He’s actually playing quite a lot of games. Also, if Destiny Udogie were to ever get injured, we’ve seen Micky van de Ven can play at left-back, which means Drăgușin would be the starting centre-back.
“Whenever Cristian Romero or van de Ven are injured, he is also the starting centre-back. Therefore, any links or stories about him going out on loan are a complete waste of time.
“It is all about him establishing himself now at Tottenham. He is still very young, which people are quick to forget. He isn't going anywhere."
It seems inconceivable that Ange Postecoglou would greenlight Drăgușin's move away from Spurs in January, especially after the latest injury blow to Romero.
Micky van de Ven is also currently sidelined. Therefore, this serves as a reminder of just how important it is for Postecoglou to have Drăgușin in his squad.
As a result, unless another centre-back were to be signed in January, there is no way that Spurs would sanction Drăgușin's exit.
