According to the report, both players are unhappy at Tottenham and seek more playing time in the second part of the campaign.

Dragusin has already given the green light to join Roma on loan this month, but Spurs want the Giallorossi to include an obligation to buy in the deal.

The Giallorossi are looking for reinforcements at the back, especially after Mario Hermoso sustained an injury in their latest Serie A match against Torino.
