To be fair, things didn’t exactly go as planned tottenham hotspur exist Premier League this season.
Judging from the current situation, Angie Postkoglu’s currently discovered side They themselves ranked 12th And closer than the relegation zone Champions League place.
Having said that, Liverpool leads 1-0 away from home. League Cup A difficult but ultimately successful 3-0 victory over Tamworth in the semi-finals FA Cupthe Australian is very likely to lead the club to trophies this season.
However, to do this, Tottenham’s most important players need to be at their best, including the club captain Sun Xingminthe performance this year is very unstable, and it turns out that He has no goals or assists in his last five league games.
Fortunately, the transfer window is now open and recent reports have linked the club with an incredibly exciting talent who could help the South Korean superstar rekindle his fortunes in the second half of the season.
Tottenham target Serie A star
according to a Recent report “Caught Offside”Tottenham are one of several teams interested in Lecce left-back Patrick Dolgu.
In addition to Lilywhites, the report also revealed that Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool are also keen on the young talent, while teams such as Manchester City, Juventus, AC Milan, Napoli, Atalanta, Bayer Leverkusen and Red Bull Leipzig are “aware of the young talent.” to” this point. his.
As well as dealing with stiff competition, Daniel Levy and Co. will also have to dig deep into their pockets to sign the Danish ace, with the Serie A side reportedly valuing him at around €50m, or around £42m. .
All in all, this could be a complicated and expensive move, but given Dolgu’s immense ability and potential, it’s worth pursuing, especially since he could help resurrect Son Heung-min.
How Dolgu revived Son Heung-min’s glory at Tottenham
So, straight to the point, the way Dolgu helps get the best out of Son Heung-min is clearly not through his defense at left-back, but through his prodigious attacking prowess.
For example, Only made 21 appearances this seasonIn a total of 1,820 minutes of play, the 20-year-old talent has scored three goals and provided one assist for Lecce, meaning he is currently averaging a goal every 5.25 games or every 455 minutes.
Granted, he spent some of the season as a right winger, but if anything, that only goes to show how accomplished and comfortable he already is on offense.
Separated from his pure output, we can further see how effective the “explosive” prospect can be, As described by U23 scout Antonio MangoWhen we compare his underlying stats to other full-backs in Europe’s top five leagues, Champions League and Europa League over the past 365 days, we see that he is an attacking full-back.

Now, while most of these metrics would help the Lilywhites skipper get more out of his game, perhaps the most important are the last two, as his energy in getting up and down the flanks and into the opponent’s box should take some of the stamina out of him. Son can be asked to focus more on getting into dangerous positions vacated by tracking the Dane’s defenders, or passing the ball to predatory full-backs.
Ultimately, the South Korean icon is a very talented player, but at 32 years old, he needs to surround himself with players who can make the more non-stop runs that Postkoglu’s system requires, and in Dolguzhe Thorns can do that and more. prospect Respected analyst Ben Martinson claims “Exudes calmness and composure.”
So while it may require significant investment, Daniel Levy and co should do all they can to bring the Lecce ace to N17 before one of their rivals gets to him first.
