Dragusin has scored two goals in Serie A this season
Tottenham are close to agreeing a deal with Genoa defender Radu Dragusin for a transfer fee of around €25m (£21.5m) plus add-ons.
Defender Djed Spence, who has just returned to Spurs after an unsuccessful loan spell at Leeds United, could be loaned out to Genoa for the rest of the season as part of the deal.
Dragusin started all 22 games for Serie A club Genoa this season.
Bayern Munich has also shown interest in the 21-year-old Romanian.
Dragusin played his career at Juventus and spent some time on loan at Genoa before finalizing his move last summer.
Tottenham were looking for a centre-back to support Cristian Romero and Mickey van de Ven, who have both suffered from injuries this season.
Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou has deployed full-backs Ben Davies and Emerson Royal in central defense in recent weeks to cover for injuries at the back.
Eric Dier had also fallen out of favor with Postecoglou, who said they could afford to lose the defender, and Bayern are said to be there for the England international.
Dier, 29, has won 49 caps for England but has struggled to secure a place in Tottenham's first team this season and reports in Germany suggest he is close to a move to the Bundesliga champions.
Meanwhile, Spence's season-long loan deal at Leeds was cut short and he returned to the club after just seven appearances in the Championship.
