The agent of Genoa defender Radu Dragusin claims that Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are among the clubs showing an interest in the 21-year-old centre-back.

The agent of Genoa centre-back Radu Dragusin has revealed that North London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing his client.

Dragusin completed a permanent move from Juventus in the summer after enjoying a successful loan spell with Genoa last season.

The 21-year-old was granted regular game time during the 2022-23 campaign, featuring in all 38 of Genoa's Serie A matches.

After joining for an initial €5.5m (£4.8m) fee in July, Dragusin has continued to be a regular fixture in the Genoa side this season, having started all 13 league matches.

Dragusin has also made an impression at international level, starting every single one of Romania's 10 Euro 2024 qualifiers, helping his country complete an unbeaten campaign to secure their place at next summer's European championships.

Having showcased his talent for both club and country, Dragusin is now attracting interest from a number of Premier League clubs.

The player's agent, Florin Manea, has claimed that Arsenal and Tottenham are keeping tabs on the defender's situation, while Newcastle United and Italian giants AC Milan also among his admirers.

Manea told Fanatik: "I have been in London for some time and have almost weekly meetings with important teams. We are getting closer.

"I spoke with Newcastle, with Arsenal, with Tottenham. I also have messages with them, conversations. There are teams that ask [about Dragusin].

"I want to say that 100 per cent by next summer, Radu will play in a not strong, very strong club! In the top 10 in the world. He wants to be in the Premier League, but know that Milan like him a lot.

"They must first come to terms with Genoa, that their claims are very high. We have a contract extension offer on the table. We understood each other, but we said that if a club comes, which, if we like it, we want to leave and leave us for around €30 million (£26m)."

A recent report also claimed that Brighton & Hove Albion were among the Premier League clubs scouting the young centre-back.

While Dragusin has seemingly been offered a new deal by Genoa, his current contract runs until the summer of 2027.
