One player at the forefront of Tottenham’s ambitions in 19-year-old Patrick Dorgu from Lecce, who’s emerging as one of Serie A’s most exciting prospects. Reports from Gazetta dello Sport suggest that spurs are in front race to secure his signature, potentially as a long-term replacement for Ben Davies.

With Destiny Udogie establishing himself as the first-choice left-back under Postecoglou after his arrival from Udinese, and Davies serving as his backup, Tottenham appears to be preparing for significant changes.

Davies contract is set to expire at the end of the season, making it likely that he could leave as a free agent. This scenario opens the door for spurs to bring in new talent like Dorgu to strengthen their defensive line.

Dorgu who is versatile enough to play across the left flank and is noted for his defensive prowess, currently earns around £10,875 per week and has already made 43 appearances for his current employees.

Tottenham identified him as a key target and even attempted to sign him during the summer transfer window.

However the club opted not to complete the signing due to Lecce’s asking price of at least £25 million, which Spurs deemed too expensive at the time.

Interested clubs are also there the likes of AC Milan and Chelsea, who are now competing for his signature. Nevertheless, reports indicate that Tottenham, alongside Chelsea, remains in a strong position to secure the deal.
