Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing the Denmark left-back Patrick Dorgu in the coming months.
According to a report from HITC, the North London club will face competition from Manchester United who are keen on signing the 19-year-old defender as well. Tottenham already have Destiny Udogie and Ben Davies at their disposal. However, Davies will be a free agent next summer and Tottenham are looking at Dorgu as a potential replacement.
Manchester United are looking to add more depth to the left-back department and Dorgu could compete with Luke Shaw for the starting spot. Tyrell Malacia has barely featured last season and he needs upgrading.
The 19-year-old is highly rated across Europe and he is expected to develop into a top-class player. He could prove to be a quality long-term acquisition for Tottenham and it remains to be seen whether they can get the deal done. The defender is reportedly valued at £30 million.
The Lecce defender is more than just a full-back and he will add a new dimension to the Tottenham attack going forward as well. He has been compared to the former Tottenham player Gareth Bale because of the stylist similarities. The 19-year-old is quite impressive going forward as well and he will help Tottenham in the attack.
It remains to be seen whether the North London club can win the race for his signature. If they can sign him for a reasonable price in the coming months, the move could look like a bargain in the long term.
The talented young defender has the attributes to develop into a world class player and he could be a key performer for Tottenham in the long term. It remains to be seen how the situation develops over the next few months.
