Tottenham leads Chelsea in the race for young defender Patrick Dorgu

London: Tottenham Hotspur is looking to sign Patrick Dorgu, a 20-year-old defender from Lecce. He plays as a left-back and has caught the attention of several Premier League teams. Currently, Tottenham seems to be in the best position to secure his signing.

Chelsea and Crystal Palace are also interested in Dorgu, while West Ham United is monitoring the situation. Tottenham is expected to make an offer soon, as Dorgu is seen as a promising player with a bright future ahead.

The club needs a strong left-back, especially since Ben Davies will be out of contract at the end of the season. Dorgu could be a great addition to the team and would compete with Destiny Udogie for a starting position.

Dorgu can also play as a left-sided winger, which would add more options to Tottenham’s attack. His move to the Premier League could be an exciting opportunity for him. Tottenham has the financial means to make this deal happen, and they are reportedly willing to pay around £30 million.

On the other hand, Chelsea is also in need of a quality left-back. Ben Chilwell has not been performing well and has faced ongoing injury issues. The Blues are looking for alternatives, and Dorgu could serve as a long-term replacement for Chilwell.

Chelsea is one of the richest clubs in the country, so they have the funds to complete the transfer. It will be interesting to see how the situation unfolds in the coming weeks as both clubs pursue the young defender.
