Spurs are reportedly keen on adding a left-back to their squad in January, and one player who has caught their attention is Lecce’s Patrick Dorgu, who has dazzled in the Italian top-flight since last season.

Multiple outlets have reported over recent weeks that Spurs and Chelsea have both scouted the Denmark international and are considering making offers for the youngster in January (FiorentinaNews).

However, it now turns out that Conte is determined to ensure that he beats both of his former clubs to the signing of the 20-year-old.

This information has been carried by Fabrizio Romano, who reveals that both Tottenham and Chelsea failed with approaches for Dorgu in the summer.

He confirms that both London clubs are still on the left-back’s trail, but they are now having to contend with competition from Serie A leaders Napoli.

In fact, Conte has allegedly chatted with the young wide-man personally, likely in an effort to convince him to move to the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.
