Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly both interested in signing Lecce defender, Patrick Dorgu.
Despite their best efforts, Tottenham were unable to complete a deal to sign the player during the summer transfer window. Now, TuttoMercatoWeb, as cited by Caught Offside, reports that Liverpool have now joined them in the race for the youngster.
In Italian football, the 19-year-old is highly regarded, and he has a promising future. With proper guidance, he could become a top player, and Liverpool could need someone with his skill set.
For a team looking to win the league title, Kostas Tsimikas is just not talented enough to start, and Andrew Robertson is nearing the twilight of his career.
Dorgu appears to be the perfect long-term replacement for Robertson, who Arne Slot’s side will soon need to find.
If the chance arises, the 19-year-old will be tempted to sign with a major club like Liverpool. Whether the Reds choose to pursue him in the upcoming months is still to be seen.
The Merseyside club have the resources to close the deal as well as the influence to persuade the player to join them.

Players like Ben Davies and Destiny Udogie are already available to Spurs. If they made the decision to spend money on another left-back, it would be very unexpected.
The teenage defender is not just targeted by Liverpool and Tottenham. AC Milan and Napoli are also interested in signing him. It will be intriguing to watch where Dorgu’s future lies.
