Spurs working to sign £34m gem with “super high potential”

Tottenham Hotspur have been blessed with genuinely world-class abilities over time.

The North Londoners may not fairly have the trophies to indicate for it, however the likes of Mousa Dembélé, Son Heung-min, Harry Kane and even Dele Alli all made names for themselves in N17 and have become stars of the Premier League.

Nevertheless, earlier than that crop of gamers nearly led the Lilywhites to home and continental glory, the membership had one other, arguably extra gifted star on their books: Gareth Bale.

The Welsh icon might have discovered glory whereas taking part in for Actual Madrid, however he was simply as unplayable throughout his time with Spurs, and whereas the membership may not discover one other participant precisely like him anytime quickly, latest stories have touted a teenager with unmistakable similarities for a transfer this month.

Tottenham goal Serie A ace

In keeping with a recent report from GIVEMESPORT, Tottenham are one in every of a number of groups occupied with signing Lecce star Patrick Dogu this month.

In actual fact, the report has revealed that ‘influential figures behind the scenes’ at Spurs have been making an attempt to work out how they will bounce forward of rivals Manchester United to safe the Dane’s providers.

The excellent news is that Lecce have already agreed to promote the full-back this month ought to an acceptable provide are available in, however the unhealthy information is that the Serie A aspect worth the Danish worldwide at £34m.

It might show to be a difficult switch to recover from the road, however given Dorgu’s spectacular type and sky-high potential, it is one value preventing for, particularly as there are shades of Bale about him.

How Dorgu compares to Bale

Okay, the very first thing to say is that even when Dorgu finally ends up being a roaring success at Spurs, which appears potential, he’ll nonetheless be a way off reaching the sensational heights that Bale did in his last season earlier than becoming a member of Actual Madrid in 12/13, when he produced 36 goal involvements in 44 games.

Nevertheless, simply because it is unlikely that the Dane will have the ability to attain fairly the identical world-class ranges because the Welshman does not imply that there aren’t numerous evident similarities between the pair, as a result of there are.

The primary is the easy undeniable fact that, like the previous Galactico, the Lecce gem will likely be becoming a member of the North Londoners – ought to a deal be struck – as an extremely thrilling and attack-minded left-back with the flexibility to play additional up the pitch.

For instance, in his 56 games for the Serie A aspect, the “tremendous excessive potential” Dane, as dubbed by analyst Ben Mattinson, has made 23 appearances at left-back, 11 at right-wing, 9 in left-midfield, 5 at left-wing and three at right-back, whereas the remaining 5 appearances had been seemingly brief cameos and subsequently not attributed to a set place.

It isn’t simply this capability to play in assault and defence that makes the 20-year-old much like the Cardiff-born icon; it is also how he performs.

For instance, in response to Mattinson, the Copenhagen-born gem is an incredibly “dynamic” full-back who “loves to hold the ball up the sphere” and does so with such ease, partly thanks to the fact that his “dribbling is high drawer.”

Nevertheless, whereas the offensive aspect of his recreation is what makes him most much like the previous Madrid star, he’s no slouch with regards to defensive duties, with Mattinson describing him as a “1v1 specialist” and somebody who can “dominate his opponent bodily.”

Lastly, the 6 foot 2 prospect shares the previous Spurs star’s unbelievable stamina, with Lecce sporting director Pantaleo Corvino describing him as having “an engine unmatched by anybody else.”

General, there are a number of obvious similarities between Dorgu and Bale, and these similarities are additionally what would make the teenager a super participant for Posetcoglou, as he’d have the ability to play in a number of roles, he has explosive tempo and, mixed along with his stamina, that would make him a nightmare for opponents within the Australian’s high-octane system.

In the end, it’d require Daniel Levy and Co to speculate greater than they’d wish to in a younger participant, however this seems like a switch they have to make.
