Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur, the two Premier League giants, have both shown strong interest in Serie A sidekick Lecce's starlet Dogu, according to leading Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano. The 19-year-old Danish starlet's performance at Lecce has attracted the attention of many European giants.
Lecce officially announced on October 18th, Beijing time, that it has completed a contract extension with Dogu, and the new contract will last until 2029. This move undoubtedly shows that Lecce attaches great importance to Dogu's future development, and at the same time sets a higher threshold for other clubs interested in bringing him in.
Coming from the youth system of North Zealand in Denmark, Dogu has the physical and technical ability to play on the left side of the field, from left back to left winger. This versatility allows him to adapt to various situations on the field and contribute to the team's overall offensive and defensive support.
In the summer of 2022, Dogu joined Lecce. So far this season, he has made 8 appearances for Lecce and started all of them. In his limited playing time, Dogu has shown excellent game sense and offensive ability, scoring 1 goal for the team. His performance has not only won the recognition of fans, but also attracted the attention of many European giants.
According to Romano, both Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur have tried to bring in Dogu this summer. Among them, Chelsea's plan was to send the Danish international to France's Strasbourg on loan first for a workout. However, Lecce's asking price for Dogu was as high as €40 million, which prevented both deals from materializing.
