Liverpool, Chelsea & Tottenham are monitoring Lecce’s Patrick Dorgu


Liverpool are hardly in determined want of left-wing reinforcements within the close to future.

The Merseysiders already possess the abilities of Cody Gakpo and Luis Diaz, plus the addition of Federico Chiesa in the summertime switch window has additional shored up the place.

Nonetheless, one contemporary report has claimed the Reds are maintaining a tally of Lecce’s Patrick Dorgu a number of months forward of the following market opening in January.

That’s the phrase from Niccolo Ceccarini on TuttoMercatoWeb who notes that the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham are maintaining a watching temporary on {the teenager}.

“Talking of high quality gamers, the highlight is unquestionably on Dorgu. The Danish winger made his debut for the nationwide crew final September 5 within the Nations League match in opposition to Switzerland, additionally scoring his first aim after lower than two minutes from getting into the sphere. Yet one more nice instinct by Corvino who took him from Nordsjaelland paying him 200 thousand euros,” the reporter wrote.

“Napoli tried to persuade the Giallorossi membership to promote him in the summertime however the response was damaging. The Azzurri membership continues to observe him, Milan can also be on his path but additionally keep watch over many Premier League golf equipment equivalent to Chelsea, Tottenham and Liverpool. Lecce has locked him up till 2029 although they’re conscious that will probably be troublesome to maintain him subsequent season, particularly if essential affords had been to reach.”

The Serie A starlet (described as a ‘very thrilling’ prospect by Denmark coach Kasper Hjulmand) has had a comparatively subdued begin to the 2024/25 season, scoring only one aim in seven video games (throughout all competitions).

Admittedly, probabilities to function larger up the pitch have come few and much between for the younger footballer with solely 5 (out of 34) appearances coming within the ahead line in 2023/24. Therefore why he’s beforehand primarily been thought-about as a wing-back choice.

Might Dorgu substitute Mo Salah on the suitable wing?

To offer Dorgu credit score the place credit score is due, he has been compelled to play all around the pitch for Lecce this time period – and by all over the place, we imply all over the place.

Seven first-team appearances have seen the Dane function at right-back (1), left-back (1), left of midfield (2) and as a right-winger (3).

Quite intriguingly, this raises questions on the place Luca Gotti – and doubtlessly Liverpool and Arne slot – see the 19-year-old taking part in long-term.

A left-footed right-sided ahead would, naturally, be of great curiosity to us given our eventual want to switch record-breaking attacker Mo Salah.

The Egyptian’s present phrases are set to run out in the summertime of 2025 and it presently stays unclear whether or not he’ll signal a brand new contract earlier than that time.

Realistically, in fact, it could be the peak of madness for our recruitment crew to entrust the way forward for the place to such a younger participant (turning 20 in October). We additionally have to see how issues shake out for Dorgu positionally earlier than even contemplating such a pathway.
