Liverpool target Patrick Dorgu says Chelsea are his favourite club
A rising star has emerged in the form of Patrick Dorgu, and Chelsea seem to have secured a prime spot in his aspirations amid the player’s links with Liverpool. The 19-year-old left-back from Lecce has not only captured the attention of clubs across Europe but has openly declared his admiration for the Blues, citing them as his favourite club.
Dorgu’s revelation adds an interesting layer to the ongoing transfer saga, where Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, and Barcelona are among the clubs vying for his signature. The talented defender, who idolises Chelsea icon Eden Hazard, has become one of the most highly-rated prospects in Italian football.
While the competition for Dorgu’s services is fierce, Chelsea’s reminder of their pulling power in the transfer market is evident. The allure of playing for the Blues seems to resonate strongly with the young left-back. Chelsea’s status as one of the top clubs in Europe enhances their appeal in attracting top-tier talent.
Here is what he told Danish publication Bold via the Express on his aspirations for the future and his favourite club:
“My dream is of course the Premier League, but right now I am also in a very good place in my career. If it were to be somewhere in Italy, it wouldn’t be too bad either.”
“Yes, it’s Chelsea.” (his favourite club)
For Liverpool, this revelation may surely come as a bit of a blow in their pursuit of defensive reinforcements. A primarily left-back capable of playing in left midfield, Dorgu‘s dream of playing in the Premier League aligns with the ambitions of several top English clubs, including the Reds. Liverpool, known for nurturing young talent and providing a platform for development, might now face heightened competition from Chelsea in securing the services of the promising fullback.
What next for the Reds?
In the transfer market, the player’s personal preferences and dreams certainly play a crucial role in decision-making. Dorgu’s fondness for Chelsea could be a factor that tilts the scales in their favour, despite interest from other European giants.
While Liverpool have a robust scouting and recruitment system, the lure of Chelsea as a destination could certainly pose a challenge in securing Dorgu’s commitment.
