Chelsea, Manchester United Join Tottenham in Race for Super Eagles-eligible Defender

Chelsea and Manchester United have joined Tottenham in the race to sign Lecce's Super Eagles-eligible defender Patrick Dorgu, according to All Nigeria Soccer. The 20-year-old Danish-Nigerian left-back has impressed with his performances in the Italian top flight, catching the attention of top European clubs.

Dorgu's versatility is seen as a major asset, with the ability to play in multiple positions including left-back, left wingback, right winger, right-back, and right wingback. This flexibility has made him an attractive target for Premier League clubs, who value players who can adapt to different positions and formations.

Manchester United's interest in Dorgu is partly due to Luke Shaw's injury problems, highlighting the need for a reliable and versatile left-back. Tottenham, on the other hand, are keen to add more depth to their defensive department, with Dorgu seen as a key target.

Chelsea have been monitoring Dorgu since the summer transfer window, but a deal did not materialize. However, the Blues are still keen on signing the young defender and have joined the race alongside Manchester United and Tottenham.

Dorgu has made three appearances for Denmark, but remains eligible to play for Nigeria due to his Nigerian descent. The 20-year-old had a dream debut for Denmark, scoring just 47 seconds after coming off the bench in a UEFA Nations League fixture against Switzerland in September.

In ten appearances in the Italian top flight so far this season, all of which he started, Dorgu has scored two goals. He joined Lecce from Nordsjælland youth academy in 2022 and has a contract with the Giallorossi until the end of the 2028-2029 season.

The interest from Premier League clubs is likely to spark a bidding war, with Lecce's negotiating position strengthened by Dorgu's contract situation. However, the Italian club may find it difficult to resist the allure of a significant transfer fee, potentially paving the way for Dorgu's move to the Premier League.

Real Madrid player ratings vs. Alaves: Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior & Rodrygo run riot but sloppy Blancos nearly throw it away in nervy La Liga victory

Carlo Ancelotti's side followed a fantastic first half with a poor second, and were perhaps fortunate to run out winners Real Madrid started in style before finishing in uncertainty in a tense 3-2 win over Alaves. For 45 minutes, Los Blancos were rampant, the Vinicius Jr-Kylian Mbappe-Rodrygo trio purring to give the home side a 3-0 lead. But two late Alaves goals made things interesting - and almost saw Carlo Ancelotti's men collapse. The Madrid opener came from an unlikely source, Lucas Vazquez sweeping Vinicius' cutback into the bottom corner. Mbappe made it two shortly before half time, a quick interchange with Jude Bellingham leading to an easy finish for Los Blancos' big summer signing. Rodrygo scored the third shortly after half time, sliding one through the keeper's legs after far too easily evading two Alaves defenders. Endrick came close to adding a fourth within minutes of entering the fray, his deflected shot pinging off the post. Alaves stuck around,...
