Tottenham Hotspur tried to sign US Lecce's Patrick Dorgu in the last window, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.

The 19-year-old has been a regular since making his first team debut last year. His displays for the Serie A side helped him also make debut for Denmark earlier this month.

Dorgu's rise at the Italian club have seen him attract interest from Tottenham and other clubs.

Towards the end of the summer window, Spurs arrived 'with an offer' to sign him. The details of their proposal aren't mentioned.

Gazzetta state Dorgu currently earns €90,000 per year, and it was 'more difficult' for him this summer than others. This suggests he may have found it hard to walk away from Tottenham's offer. Napoli, AC Milan and Juventus have also tried to sign him.

Maurice Ogbodo, the Denmark international's agent, has links with Base Soccer. The British agency has 'direct relationship' with top Premier League sides, and they seem to have had a role in Tottenham's assault.

Lecce are ready to open the door for Dorgu's transfer next summer and have informed the same to his agent. Gazzetta indicate Tottenham or another club could agree a deal in January and then send him back on loan to Lecce until the end of this season.

His valuation could increase from €30m to €40m, if he were to impress for the Italian club in the coming months.

Meanwhile, Calcio Lecce claim Ange Postecoglou's side 'remain very interested' in the left-back, who has been used in the attacking positions this season.

Lecce technical director Pantaleo Corvino, who values Dorgu at €40m, has started talks with Dorgu's entourage to extend his contract.
