Tottenham figures ready to beat Manchester United to mega new transfer
Tottenham are working behind the scenes to beat Manchester United in the race to sign Lecce left-back Patrick Dorgu, according to Give Me Sport.
The news outlet reports (21 January) that powerful figures at Spurs have been looking for ways to pip the Red Devils as they work on a deal for the 20-year-old.
The North Londoners are making inroads to sign the Denmark international after making him a top target.
Ruben Amorim’s financial constraints at Old Trafford could hand the Lilywhites the edge in the pursuit of Dorgu before the February 3 deadline.
Tottenham need Patrick Dorgu transfer now
While the 20-year-old has mostly featured at right-wing for the Serie A outfit this season, he’s capable of playing in a defensive role.
The left-footed Danish ace could seemingly be the perfect backup for Destiny Udogie at Tottenham.
Djed Spence has been deployed at left-back due to injury issues in the squad, and Ange Postecoglou could do with more depth in his backline.
Spurs have Ben Davies in their ranks as well, but the Welsh national is arguably well past his prime, and a replacement for him should be found soon.
The North London outfit are going through a rough spell at the moment, and fans want to see Daniel Levy make drastic changes to the squad in the coming weeks.
Dorgu looks like a decent option to pursue before the 3 February deadline due to his versatility and age.
The youngster has shown immense potential during his short spell in Italy, and the Lilywhites could be getting an unpolished gem in the 20-year-old.
While getting the better of Man United arguably won’t be easy, Spurs can’t afford to waste any time with the deadline nearing.
