Tottenham Hotspur's plan to recruit prospective players in their late teens and early 20s to the team is expected to continue in the transfer market in January next year. With the Tottenham scout team already drawing up a shopping list, there is a 20-year-old reserve star at the top who has just begun to stand out in Serie A. Patric Dorgu (19, US Lecce) from Denmark is the main character. However, he will have to compete strongly with Chelsea.
British media TBR Football is seeking to recruit a £30 million player who Tottenham is receiving surprising attention on the 21st (Korea time). But the player identified himself as a Chelsea fan, he reported. The player Tottenham and Chelsea are interested in at the same time is Dorgu, who is under special management in Serie A Lecce.
In fact, this is not Tottenham's first interest in Dorgu. Originally, he had been pursuing the recruitment of Dorgu since the transfer market last summer. According to European transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano, Tottenham offered 20 million pounds (about 35.76 billion won) to recruit Dorgu at the end of the transfer market, but it was canceled because Lecce called out 40 million pounds (about 71.5 billion won).
Tottenham, however, did not let go of their interest in Dorgu. Dorgu is also constantly getting a chance at Lecce this season. In particular, he received great attention with his impressive debut goal in February. Lecce also appreciates the value of Dorgu and has signed a contract until 2029. This is because I predicted that the interest of European big clubs will continue to pour out. After the contract extension, Lecce sees the value of Dorgu at more than £30 million.
However, Tottenham have to defeat a big competitor to complete the recruitment of Dorgu. It's Chelsea. Chelsea were also looking for Dorgu's value early on and were seeking to sign him.
Above all, it is burdensome for Tottenham to publicly state that Dorgu himself has been a fan of Chelsea since childhood. Under the same conditions, Dorgu is more likely to choose Chelsea than Tottenham. Therefore, Tottenham is expected to make a more attractive offer if it wants to succeed in recruiting Dorgu. If Dorgu comes to Tottenham, he will compete with Destiny Udoji, a similar style.
