Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly viewed as the frontrunners in the race to sign Lecce defender Patrick Dorgu.
Having made the switch from Nordsjaelland in 2022, the 19-year-old has quickly established himself as one of Lecce’s most important players.
Despite his age, Dorgu has already made 38 appearances for the Serie A outfit, contributing two goals and one assist from the left side.
While the youngster found himself in and out of the team during 2023-24, he has since made three starts in Italy’s top flight this season.
Dorgu’s rise has already led to him being called up to the Denmark senior squad with his first two caps being earned in the recent UEFA Nations League victories over Switzerland and Serbia.
He marked his debut with a goal in the first of those games, Lecce hoping that Dorgu will now be able to kick on once he has served a suspension for a recent red card.
Nevertheless, despite possessing a contract until 2027, it remains unclear whether his long-term future will be at I Giallorossi or a bigger club.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Chelsea, and Spurs have moved into pole position to secure a deal for the prospect.
