US Lecce wonderkid Patrick Dorgu has detailed that his dream transfer would be Chelsea, despite being linked with Liverpool last summer.

Speaking to Ekstra Bladet via Goal, the 18-year-old left-back revealed that he is a fan of the Premier League giants, with Dorgu claiming that his dream is to one day play for Chelsea.

Dorgu said: “Chelsea is my dream to play for. I have been a fan of them for over 10 years, so it would be a huge dream to play for them.”

Dorgu was heavily linked with a move to Liverpool this summer as the Danish youth international flourished for Lecce’s U-19 side, with the defender making the leap to Serie A side this season.

The teenager has featured in every league game for the Salentini, and a big move could be on the cards for Dorgu next year, with Liverpool in the hunting pack.

However, the defender’s dream of joining Chelsea could throw a big spanner in the works for Liverpool, especially with the Blues beating the Reds to two key transfers already this year.

Liverpool have to convince Dorgu to snub Chelsea

Dorgu is clearly a player with huge talent and a massive ceiling, and if there’s anything to go by based on the last 12 months, it’s that joining Chelsea is a potential death sentence for a young player.

The Blues have tumbled and fallen from their perch in spectacular fashion, with Mauricio Pochettino’s side looking as lost as they ever have done in the Premier League era.

And for Liverpool, convincing Dorgu to snub a dream move to the Blues for a switch to Anfield could be quite easy, with the defender ideal to replace Andy Robertson in the years to come.
