His return to the club after his ill-fated spell at Chelsea has not worked out as many had hoped, with him unable to repeat the performances from his first spell that prompted the €53m move to Stamford Bridge in July 2020.
Despite his struggles in England, he has shown no hesitation to return with Tottenham, hoping to benefit from some of that Ange Postecoglou magic and get back on track.
The notion has been that he won’t be missed at Leipzig, but Raum appears to be of a completely different mindset.
“He hasn’t had an easy season. He also had his injuries last season, which of course also comes into play,” he said.
“But he still helped us again and again. He was there for everyone, looked after everyone and put everyone in a good mood. That’s why it’s a big loss for the cabin.
“If that’s what it took for him to get back to the Premier League, then I wish him the best.”
