Tottenham Hotspur are front-runners to acquire the services of Lecce teenage sensation Patrick Dorgu.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport via SportWitness, Tottenham are keen on acquiring the services of Patrick Dorgu. While there is no shortage of interest in the Danish international’s signature, the North London club are believed to be leading the race at this stage.
Dorgu was a part of the FC Nordsjaelland’s youth ranks. He was already a big name in Danish football because of his heroics in age group football, his incredible rise and huge potential resulted in a move to Lecce in the summer of 2022.
He had an impressive loan spell and the move was made permanent in the following summer window. The 19-year-old wide player has only gone from strength to strength over the last 18 months. Last season, he was involved in 34 matches and racked up more than 1,600 minutes of first-team action.
Thanks to his consistent performances last season, he has become a regular starter for the Italian club. The majority of his appearances have come as a left-back or as a left-winger but what makes him special is that he can feature in any role on either flank.
His potential along with his abilities have made the 19-year-old Danish international a rare commodity and there is no shortage of interest in his services. Tottenham are one of the clubs that have been interested in Dorgu for some time.
Tottenham are leading the race to sign Dorgu
The North London club have made a major change to their transfer approach. They now prefer to sign young players with huge potential and the Danish wide player fits the bill.
They wanted to sign him during the summer but things didn’t work out because Lecce were looking for around €30-35 million and Spurs were not ready to invest that big an amount in someone who was still an unknown commodity in the world of football.
While they decided against signing him back then, Tottenham have retained interest in the youngster and they look all set to make a move in the near future. Dorgu penned a new deal with Lecce on Friday (18 October) which runs until the summer of 2029 but that won’t stop Spurs from trying to lure him away.
They are believed to be leading the race for his signature despite interest from other top clubs from across Europe. With multiple top clubs keen, a bidding war could be in place for the 19-year-old but for now, Spurs are in the driving seat.
