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.
