Fabrizio Romano hands Tottenham Hotspur a major boost in their pursuit of one of the Serie’s best-emerging talents – Patrick Dorgu.
Tottenham eyeing another Serie A raid for Patrick Dorgu
Tottenham have had plenty of success with their recruits from Italy over recent years, with Cristian Romero, Rodrigo Bentacnur, Dejan Kulusevski, Destiny Udogie and Guglielmo Vicario all proving hits at N17.
Reports over recent months have indicated that the Lilywhites are now plotting another raid from Italy, with Lecce’s Patrick Dorgu now in their sights.
In fact, some outlets have even suggested recently that Tottenham are favourites to sign the left-sided player, even though they are thought to be facing competition from the likes of Juventus, Napoli and Chelsea for the player.
Fabrizio Romano provides update on Patrick Dorgu
While reporting on the fact that Patrick Dorgu won the Danish Young Player of the Year award for 2024, Romano provided an interesting Tottenham transfer update on the youngster.
He revealed that Lecce already rejected approaches from Spurs, Chelsea and Strasbourg for the versatile left-back back in the summer.
Even more significantly, Romano added that Dorgu is expected to leave Stadio Via del mare in 2025 amidst the growing interest in his signature. This could be good news for the likes of Tottenham if they are indeed still interested in the left-back.
Dorgu seems the ideal defensive recruit for Spurs
With Ben Davies continuing to shine as a centre-back, Tottenham’s priority in January would likely be to strengthen at left-back rather than in central defence.
Patrick Dorgu ticks all the boxes for Tottenham, given his age, his tactical profile and his physical attributes.
However, his arrival would completely shut the door on Djed Spence, who despite impressing in the opportunities that have come his way, might potentially be loaned out again in January.
