Shocking Son Heung-min revival project, 74.9 billion left-back to support SON attack. Udoji's upgrade version is being recruited

'Son Heung-min to survive, I'll support you.

Tottenham Hotspur will use the extension option to recruit a young left-back armed with talent to revive the offense of Son Heung-min (33), who was held for another year.

It is judged that the team can only revive Son Heung-min, who has been remarkably stagnant this season. In order for Son Heung-min to survive, he must first look at the offensive start work. It is believed that Son Heung-min is also not able to show his true value because Destiny Udoji, who played this role well last season, is sluggish this season. So I found a person who contributed more to the attack than Udoji. Patrik Dorgu (21) of Serie A's U.S. Reche is the target.

Team Talk, a British media outlet, reported on the 14th (Korea time) 'Tottenham is seeking to recruit an outstanding offensive left who can help Son Heung-min attack' It is a recruitment of players considering strategic aspects.

The Tottenham club have been struggling quite a bit this season. In the 2023-2024 season, when coach Enze Postecoglou took the helm for the first time, he finished fifth in the league after creating a sensation, continuing his unbeaten streak in the first 10 games. Based on the confidence gained here, he was setting a goal of entering the Big Four or higher in the 2024-2025 season. Ahead of the new season, he has recruited many players, including Dominic Solanke and Lucas Beribal.

However, the season did not go as planned. In particular, Son Heung-min's poor performance was quite large. Son Heung-min has not been as sharp as last season due to his injuries, fatigue accumulation, and the opponent's intensive mark. Although the past is coming out from time to time, it is generally sluggish.

Team Talk is 'Tottenham captain Son Heung-min has played in 25 official games this season and has been doing quite well with seven goals and seven assists. However, he seems to have lost the pace that once played a key role in overcoming the opponent's defense, scoring goals or creating offensive opportunities.

This analysis is also coming from within Tottenham. However, I do not believe that all these problems are solely attributable to Son Heung-min himself. Team Talk 'Son Heung-min was in excellent form when Tottenham continued their 10-game unbeaten streak after the opening of last season. However, among them, he explained that the impact of (left back) Udoji's offensive formation is also significant.

In other words, much of Son's slump this season was also affected by Udoji's slump, which supports him. Udoji suffered from a hamstring injury at the end of the 2023-2024 season and has not been in good form this season. In addition, veteran Ben Davies left for Leeds United, and there was a major injury to the defense. It is urgent to reinforce defenders.

Therefore, Tottenham is seeking to recruit defenders in the January transfer market. The number one target is Dorgu. Other EPL clubs are also eyeing Dorgu.

England's catch-offside is one of several clubs where Tottenham is interested in Dorgu, a former member of Denmark's national team. Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool are also interested in young defenders.

Dorgu has played in 19 league games this season, scoring 3 points and 01 assists. With a height of 1m85, Dorgu has powerful dribbling ability and can digest multi-position even at a young age. Based on left-back, central midfielders and offensive midfielders can play.

The key is the transfer fee. Lecce currently values Dorgu at around 5,000 euros (about 74.9 billion won). He is not an affordable player. However, the expected effect after the recruitment is certain. He is a person who can break through the concentration mark on Son Heung-min with aggressive play. There is also a possibility that he will compete with Udo to become a starting player. First of all, it's healthier and more aggressive than it's often painful. He is evaluated as a person who will definitely play the role of back support for Son Heung-min. Attention is focusing on whether Tottenham's 『Project to Save Son Heung-min』 will be successful.
