Tottenham have confirmed the signing of Radu Dragusin on a six-and-a-half year deal.
The defender becomes the second signing of the transfer window for the North London club, after former Chelsea forward Timo Werner joined on loan from RB Leipzig earlier this week.
Dragusin, 21, is believed to have moved in a deal worth £25million after rejecting an 11th-hour bid from German champions Bayern Munich on Tuesday.
The club have moved quickly to get their business done amid a string of injury problems, with defenders Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven and Ben Davies all struggling with injuries.
Tottenham have confirmed that the Romania international will wear the No 6 shirt at the club, with the defender set to be available to face Manchester United this weekend.

Romero and Van de Ven could be involved in the squad for Spurs’ Premier League game against United, but Dragusin’s arrival means neither player now needs to be rushed back.
Manager Ange Postecoglou had been left with a dilemma after Davies, who has been playing at centre back alongside fellow full back Emerson Royal, injured his hamstring in the FA Cup victory over Burnley last week.
The Australian could now, however, be left with options to choose from with Dragusin, who has played every minute for Genoa in Serie A this season, available and Romero and Van de Ven potentially available for selection from the start.
