Left-back Patrick Dorgu, who is eligible to play for the Super Eagles, is being pursued by Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea.
The North London teams are reportedly interested in signing the gifted full-back, who is also being watched by Liverpool, according to TEAMtalk.
Dorgu has been one of the breakout stars in the Serie A this season , featuring in 12 games for Lecce, only four of which have been as a starter.
His performances caught the attention of Liverpool and Barcelona who were the first sides to be linked with him.
Only four of Dorgu’s 12 appearances for Lecce this season have come as starters, making him one of the Serie A’s breakout stars.
Liverpool and Barcelona were the first teams to link with him after his performances drew their interest.
Tottenham and Chelsea have both thrown their hats in the ring to sign the Danish-born defender, so the competition is about to heat up.
Given that the fullback has previously indicated his desire to sign with the Blues, they may have an advantage in the signing process.
In order to remove Dorgu from the Italian club’s records, prospective suitors will have to wait until the summer as Lecce has ruled out selling him in January.
The 19-year-old’s current Serie A contract expires in2027, so a lowball offer is unlikely.
This season, he has made 14 appearances in all competitions.
