Ex-Tottenham employee and former club scout Bryan King believes that manager Ange Postecoglou could soon hand a young player more game time.
Spurs set for Champions League chase
Spurs’ intense fourth-place duel with Aston Villa will shortly resume when Postecoglou’s team travels to Fulham this weekend.
Before their thrilling victory over Villa away from home in their most recent game, Tottenham will go to Craven Cottage, where they will face a formidable opponent and put on their best second half performance of the year.
Tottenham’s best-performing players per-90 this season | Average match rating (via Who Scored) |
---|---|
James Maddison | 7.45 |
Son Heung-min | 7.44 |
Pedro Porro | 7.19 |
Cristian Romero | 7.11 |
Dejan Kulusevski | 7.08 |
With a game remaining, Spurs are only two points behind Villa. If they defeat Fulham this weekend, they will be able to temporarily pass Unai Emery’s team and go up to fourth place, with Villa’s next match not being against West Ham until the following day.
Spurs’ victory over Villa was somewhat tempered by the hamstring scare involving standout defender Micky van de Ven. After being carried off with the problem, the Dutchman was replaced by winter signing Radu Dragusin, who, according to his agent, has been making an impression in training.
Their concept was well-considered. This week, Florin Manea informed Fanatik that he needed to wait his turn and assist his team.
“It made sense because the two center backs gelled in their partnership and were difficult to remove. It wasn’t appropriate, in one sense, to remove them. Speaking with someone at the club, I learned that he is training incredibly well. He is not to fault. For Radu, training is like a match. We’ve been working toward that for years. Playing is the same as training.
King tips more game time for Dragusin soon
The young defender has been waiting for a consistent run in the team to impress Postecoglou, and he could well get it. Ex-Spurs scout Bryan King says the “complete” Dragusin could well get his chance in the Spurs first team amid concerns surrounding van de Ven.
Van de Ven’s injury was the one drawback from the victory over Aston Villa, King told Tottenham News. Dragusin entered the game and quickened the tempo. Spurs scored as soon as he entered the field, and he naturally assisted his team in keeping a clean sheet.
It appears that he may now have the opportunity to show himself, and he needs to seize it.Aside from that, he performed admirably. It was a little stupid of him to receive a yellow card because he didn’t need to raise his foot to try to block the free kick. I liked the way he looked and that he didn’t take any chances.
