The past month or so has been brutal for me tottenham hotspur.
Angie Postkoglu’s Many of the team’s star players have been injured, and they have repeatedly achieved eye-catching results but have been in trouble.
For example, they lost 6-3 to Liverpool on Sunday night, lost 4-3 to Chelsea a few weeks ago, and lost 2-1 to newly promoted Ipswich Town before the last international break of the year. And in every game, their manager starts Radu Dragusin.
The Romania international has struggled this season, so reports that the club could make the mistake of signing him in January should worry fans.
Tottenham Hotspur transfer news
according to a “Football Insider” latest reportsTottenham Hotspur interested in Atalanta defender Ben Godfrey He made 112 appearances in the Premier League.
In fact, the report reveals that the north Londoners have resorted to offering him a short-term loan as they look for a solution to their current defensive crisis.
However, while their need for a new defender may be the most pressing, the Lilywhites are not the only side interested in the former Everton ace, as Report from earlier this month That lists Wolves and Nottingham Forest as two of the four Premier League teams.
Now, given Tottenham’s stature and what they can offer players, we would be surprised if they couldn’t get ahead of the competition, but given their ambitions, we’re not sure they should, especially given their How bad is the last centre-back signing from Italy that is going well.
Why Spurs shouldn’t sign Godfrey
So, simply put, signing Godfrey, even on a short-term loan, would be a poor decision and could end up emulating Dragosin’s move.
The Romanian joined the north Londoners from Serie A side Genoa in January The cost is approximately £26.7 millionWhile the move has generated some excitement, he is now one of the most talked about players on the team, and for good reason.
The 22-year-old has been forced into a bigger role due to injury this season and while his performances haven’t been catastrophic, his performances have been poor.
For example, in the Europa League he was sent off against FK Calabar, gave Victor Osimhen a goal against Galatasaray, and against Rangers He looked completely out of his depth.
His performance in the Premier League wasn’t much better Averaged only 1.30 points per game The performance against Ipswich was so bad that journalist and fan Mitch Fretton describes his performance as “An absolute horror show.”
Now, while Godfrey’s move is similar in the sense that he also joins from an Italian club, the difference is that he is not a key member of Atalanta’s squad.
For example, since joining Bergamo in the summer, He only made five appearancesA total of 93 minutes, even described as a “failure” Everything Atalanta, an Italian outlet September.
Unfortunately for the former Norwich City gem, he hasn’t had as impressive a run in the Premier League as he has over the past four seasons After his £25m move to Goodison Parkhe Appeared only 93 times.
Furthermore, in his final season with the Toffees, the “embarrassing” centre-back Voiced by former scout Brian Kingmaking just 16 appearances in all competitions, meaning he was deemed insufficient to help the club avoid relegation.
Ultimately, Spurs’ need for defensive reinforcements is undeniable, but that doesn’t mean they should sign the first player they come across, and that’s what this potential deal feels like.
