Tottenham eye €20-25-rated RB Salzburg star who can thrive under Thomas Frank

Tottenham are contemplating making a move for RB Salzburg speedster Nene Dorgeles

Ange Postecoglou’s sacking from Tottenham Hotspur last week sparked a mixed reaction from the fans, with many believing that he deserved another season in North London after breaking the club’s 17-year-long trophy drought.

Despite winning the Europa League in Bilbao, Spurs chairman Daniel Levy decided to part ways with the Australian boss. He has chosen to instil Thomas Frank as his successor ahead of the upcoming season that will see the North Londoners also compete in the Champions League, and plans have been made to bring in new players to bolster the existing squad.

After confirming the permanent capture of defender Kevin Danso from RC Lens, the Lilywhites have seemingly shifted their focus towards strengthening the wide department. According to an exclusive report from TEAMtalk, Tottenham are considering a move for RB Salzburg trickster Nene Dorgeles. They have been following the winger’s progress closely at RB Salzburg, and while no formal move has been made yet, he is a player with huge potential and has emerged on their radar.

Nene Dorgeles has exploded into the scene as one the highly-regarded young talents across the European continent thanks to his strong season with RB Salzburg. He delivered 15 goals and nine assists across all competitions, as RB Salzburg finished second in the Austrian Bundesliga. This has seen the Mali international also catch the attention of clubs such as Bayer Leverkusen, SC Freiburg, Lazio and Fiorentina.

The aforementioned report adds Dorgeles is valued at around €20-25 million. The African talent is also open to taking the next step in his career and is evaluating new avenues across top European leagues.

Capable of operating across the front three, the 22-year-old would offer Thomas Frank valuable tactical flexibility. The Malian international possesses electrifying pace, clever movement, and a knack for creating and scoring goals.

Dorgeles’ ability to stretch defences, make runs in behind them and exploit spaces would add another dimension to Tottenham’s attack. He is also workhorse off the ball and can press relentlessly from the front, a trait that bodes well with Frank’s high-intensity approach and style of play.

For the North Londoners, acquiring the Abidjan-born attacker would provide quality and depth to their squad, ensuring incoming boss Frank has enough options to compete in both the Premier League and Champions League. While he is still raw in certain aspects of the game, working under a highly-rated tactician in Frank could help Dorgeles improve them.

Valued at a paltry €20-25 million by the Austrian side, Spurs have to be all over Dorgeles’ signature.
