Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou has praised winter arrival Radu Dragusin.

The highly rated centre half rejected Bayern Munich to sign for Spurs instead.

While he was enjoying a good season at Genoa, Postecoglou admits that Dragusin must adapt to his style and to the Premier League.

He told reporters: “He has been great, he working hard. He was at Genoa and he was playing. If just playing was all he was interested in then he would have stayed at Genoa. If you want to move to big clubs then that's part of the process. He knew that and that's why I wanted him here because he knew the challenge of coming here and playing was not just going to be a given.

“It's about working your way. He's adapting. We play a lot differently to what he's used to, we've used him in games and I think he's done well when we've used him.

“Again, we didn't buy him for six months, we brought him to this football club for a long time and we've already seen this year what losing our two central defenders what impact that had on our season. I don't want that to happen in the future so Radu is here for that and the next three to four months before the end of the season it's about him adapting and working hard.

“He's been outstanding in training, great attitude, great amongst the players. The players can really see the qualities he has and he's ready to play."
