Tottenham have constantly been linked with a move for Patrick Dorgu over the past few months.
While the Denmark international signed a new deal at Lecce, the likelihood is that it will not stop the player from leaving and would only hand the Italian side a higher fee from his sale.
Chelsea have also been mentioned as a potential destination and so have Napoli, which clearly suggests that the line of suitors is growing for Dorgu.
Lecce coach Dan Thomassen spoke to TipsBladet this week about the Danish star’s rise and was asked about interest from major clubs in the youngster.
Thomassen said it’s no surprise that club like Tottenham are interested in the player.
“Those of us who deal with him every day quickly find out how great the potential is.
“People on the outside only watch the games, of course, but I am in no way surprised by what he is up to and the interest in him.”
Speaking about Dorgu’s potential, the Lecce coach said: “I could already see that from the first week I arrived. It does not surprise me at all that there is such great interest in him. He is exploring his potential.”
He praised the 20-year-old further, mentioning that this is the season where he putting forward his ability in the form of consistent performances for the Serie A side.
“I don’t think the club has had any doubts about the potential. Over the past six months it has been an upward curve for Patrick and I also think the club can see that potential has turned into continuous performances on the pitch.
“This has meant that he has joined the A national team. I see it as a natural development that he has extended towards us.”
Tottenham have been in search of players who offer pace and an excellent 1v1 ability in the final third and Dorgu seems to fit the bill. Considering the rising interest, they may have to move quickly for him.
