Tottenham target £30m+ Udogie upgrade with 'engine unlike anyone else'

It wasn't a great campaign to have Tottenham Hotspur So far this season.

Angie Postecoglou The Lilywhites may have scored the second most goals in the league Premier League This year, but they are currently finding themselves in eleventh place And they endure their worst Form in competition since 2008.

While there are issues on the pitch for the North Londoners, the defense is undoubtedly the biggest issue, a big reason being the number of defenders who have been injured.

One of those who has now been ruled out of the upcoming match against Newcastle United is Udoji's fateWhile he impressed last season, recent reports have linked Tottenham with a rising full-back who could be his replacement.

Tottenham Hotspur transfer news

According to For a recent report from GIVEMESPORTTottenham have maintained their interest in Lecce full-back Patrick Dorgo.

However, the bad news is that a number of other clubs, such as Milan, Chelsea, Napoli, Liverpool and Manchester United, have now begun to circle around the young Dane, which in turn has seen the 20-year-old receive an initial £30m fee. Increase rating.

This is a problem because, according to the report, Daniel Levy could limit Postecoglou's spending to £25m, although given Udoji's recent injury, there is always the possibility that the budget could increase.

Overall, signing Dorjo could be a complicated and expensive transfer, but given his ability and Spurs' needs, it is one worth pursuing, even if it is bad news for Udoji's long-term future.

How does Dorgu compare to Udogie

So, if Tottenham are able to increase their transfer budget, get ahead of the chasing pack, and secure the services of Dorgu this month, it is almost certain that he will come in and immediately start helping the injured Udoji.

But what will happen once the Italian full-back returns from his injury? Who will be the Lilywhites' starting left-back?

Well, the way to solve that is to compare them against each other and see who comes out on top, starting with something that is becoming increasingly important for a modern fullback: their pure production.

In this regard, the Lychee man comes to the fore, With three goals in 19 matches To the former Udinese One assist for the Iceman in 23 matchesalthough the 20-year-old has played all over the pitch this season, which would have helped him.

What about their basic numbers then? Who comes out on top when we take a look at what's going on under the hood?

Well, unfortunately for the Verona-born Dinamo, his would-be replacement is one who emerges victorious once again, and in a way.

For example, the exciting prospect, which is Lecce's sporting director Pantaleo described Corvino as possessive “An engine unmatched by anyone else,” comes out on top in almost every measure, including but not limited to non-penalty expected goals as well as assists, progressive carries, shots, goal-creation movements and shots, passes and crosses. Inside the penalty area, clearances, blocking shots, winning aerial duels, all in 90.

Ultimately, even though Udogie is a very talented footballer, it is clear that Dorgu would be the perfect upgrade to Postecoglou's complete system.

So, even though it will cost a pretty penny, Levy and his partners will have to do everything they can to bring it to N17 this month.
