Arsenal fans have all been left saying the same thing about Tottenham Hotspur defender Radu Dragusin on Tuesday night.
In the final game of the season for Spurs at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the Premier League title took a huge swing.
Tottenham’s faint Champions League dreams needed all three points from the game against Pep Guardiola’s side.
However, three points for the visitors has given City a free run at the title and ended Tottenham’s Champions League hopes.
The Lilywhites have had some injury issues crop up over recent weeks with Destiny Udogie, Richarlison and Yves Bissouma all sidelined.
And the injury to the Italian left-back and Ben Davies saw Ange Postecoglou provide January signing Radu Dragusin with a rare start.
As Spurs held the visitors to a goalless first 45 minutes, Arsenal fans took to social media to share their thoughts on the Romanian’s display.
What Arsenal fans were left saying about Radu Dragusin
A rare opportunity for the 22-year-old to play from the start was just his third start in a Spurs shirt.
The Romanian made the move to Hotspur Way in January from Genoa with Eric Dier leaving the club for Bayern Munich.
However, the partnership formed by Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven has meant opportunities have been few and far between for Dragusin.
But he did get the opportunity and he did play the full 90 minutes with the Tottenham defence going through the first half without conceding for just the third time this year.
And it was apparent the onwatching Arsenal fans were very impressed with what they had seen from the 22-year-old Spurs defender.
One Arsenal fans was clearly left seriously impressed by the Romanian, saying, ‘DRAGUSIN PLAYING LIKE HE WANTS A MOVE TO ARSENAL’. Whilst another simply added, ‘Yess sign him’.
Dragusin made a stunning headed block to deny City in the first half, leading to a fan saying, ‘I want that clip of his last man block celebration’ and another hailed his passion, ‘That passion was insane’.
Spurs were solid at the back for most of the game and one fans said, ‘Tell Mikel to sign him up next season to back up the 2 rocks at the back.’ Whilst another fan added, ‘One of our own’.

An interesting summer lies ahead of the Romanian. Not playing cannot have been easy for him and it is now being reported that Napoli are eyeing a potential move for him in the window.
Europa League football for Spurs will likely offer him an improved chance of playing more regularly but it is whether he wants guaranteed starts that may be a concern.
