Tottenham are launching a bid for Genoa defender Radu Dragusin.
Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou feels his squad is a centre-half short and Romania international Dragusin is now a January priority.
Tuttosport says Spurs have offered £25m for Dragusin.
However, Genoa are demanding £30m to sell and expect Spurs to return with an improved offer in the coming week.
This season, Dragusin has played 18 out of 18 Serie A games for Genoa.
