Excellent in victory over Ukraine Dragusin kept a clean sheet and generated 10 clearances in Monday's 3-0 victory against Ukraine.

Impact Dragusin led his defense to an impressive clean sheet Monday as the team held Ukraine to just three shots on target.

Quiet after move to Spurs Dragusin kept one clean sheet and made 18 clearances in nine appearances (four starts) for Spurs this past season.

Impact Dragusin moved to Spurs in January, picking the North London side over Bayern Munich. He made just nine appearances in 18 matches, but showed some promise when he was on the pitch. The 22-year-old may struggle for playing time again next season though, with Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven firmly establishing themselves as Spurs' center-back partnership. Before that he will have a chance to show his skills off this summer with Romania in the Euros.

Limited role with new club Dragusin has seen minimal time since moving to Tottenham, only earning eight minutes across three starts.

Impact Dragusin's time in London has been slightly underwhelming to start, as the defender has seen almost no time on the field despite appearing on the team sheet in all five matches he has been with the team for to this point. The defender was thought of as a player who could come into the club starting immediately, so it is a bit surprising to see him take the backseat in these first couple of games, although he has had only just over a month to get integrated with the team. With that being said, he could see more time in upcoming contests after being with the team for a bit of time, but he will have to beat out Cristian Romero or Micky van de Ven if he wants to see a spot in the starting XI.

With Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven both healthy, Dragusin will find it difficult to make the starting XI, but he will likely find himself as a substitute every match day due to Spurs' lack of depth at centerback.
