Tottenham might already have a replacement lined up for Radu Drăgușin after what one youth sensation did recently.

Spurs have several centre-backs on the books in North London.

Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven are the preferred options when both are fit. Meanwhile, Drăgușin and Kevin Danso are squad options, while Archie Gray has also demonstrated he can play in the heart of defence.

In addition, Luka Vušković is making a big impact ahead of his arrival at Tottenham this summer. However, there could be some changes in the defensive department before next season begins.

Drăgușin and Romero could both leave Tottenham

Romero is subject to interest from Atletico Madrid.

As a result, the World Cup winner could be tempted to move on this summer, especially with issues mooted behind the scenes at Tottenham.

Meanwhile, Drăgușin is "ever closer" to leaving Tottenham and making a return to Italy in the summer transfer window [CalcioMercato].

Drăgușin hasn't played many games for Tottenham

Replacing Romero would be tricky and could also prove to be very costly. Therefore, Tottenham might fight to keep hold of the Argentinian.

However, when it comes to Drăgușin, Spurs might already have a replacement for the Romanian, and he won't cost them a penny.

Tottenham gem Junai Byfield continues to shine

Junai Byfield has made a big impression within Spurs' academy this season.

And he continued his fine club form while on international duty, captaining England's Under-17s to a 5-0 victory over Northern Ireland's Under-17s on Tuesday (25 March).

Byfield will be turning 17 next season, and there is no reason why he can't begin to make more first-team appearances, especially after what Mikey Moore has achieved this year at the same age.

As a result, this could allow Spurs to sanction Drăgușin's exit from the club.

Byfield won't be ready to start every week for Tottenham. However, as a rotational option, he could slot right in, which would leave Drăgușin surplus to requirements and free to return to Italy.
