‘Train hard’ – Radu Dragusin wants to reach peak fitness in time for Leicester City

Radu Dragusin is enjoying being back with his Tottenham teammates and revealed that he is working as hard as possible to reach peak fitness before the Premier League season gets underway.

Radu Dragusin is back in Spurs training

Dragusin missed the first few weeks of pre-season after making it into the round of 16 stage of the Euros with Romania.

The centre-back was arguably his nation’s best player at the tournament and received plenty of plaudits for his displays in Germany (Football.London).

The 22-year-old missed linked up with the Spurs squad last week, coming on as a substitute in Tottenham’s 3-2 win over K-League All-Stars before making his first start of pre-season in the 2-1 loss to Bayern Munich on Saturday.

Dragusin is fighting to be fit in time for the season

The former Genoa man will undoubtedly go into the campaign with plenty of confidence on the back of his impressive showing this summer but he confessed that he is in a race against time to be at peak condition by the time Spurs’ campaign gets underway in two weeks.

Dragusin told Tottenham’s official website following the clash against Bayern: “I was excited to come back to meet the guys, to meet the staff to start training but it’s normal. We train at the highest level possible, it’s normal for it to be hard.

“This is the nice part of football when you train hard, you have good results. We have a couple of weeks left until the first game in the Premier League and we go full throttle.

“I feel the guys are in a great condition. As I said, I’m also trying to reach that condition. I’m working every day. We are going to be 100 per cent come the start of the season to achieve something important.”

Dragusin is going to get a lot more game time than he did last season and the Romanian is going to nearly be like a new signing for Spurs.

He is good enough to keep pushing Van de Ven and Romero and keep the pair on their toes.
