Patrick Dorgu, an 18-year-old prospect from Lecce, is apparently a target for Liverpool, who are considering a move to sign him. The Merseyside giants are reportedly prepared to make a move for the Nigerian-born Danish young international who last season led Lecce to the Primavera title, the highest honor an academy player can receive in Italy, according to CalcioMercato.
A product of the famous FC Nordsjaelland academy, Dorgu only moved to Lecce last summer where he has exclusively played for the U-19s, making 38 appearances in total and scoring four goals. And now, Liverpool are interested.
According to the Telegraph, Dorgu has reportedly attracted the attention of Liverpool scouts as the Anfield club seeks to enhance their academy ranks with some young prospects from throughout Europe, with the Danish youngster being an option. Given how lucrative a Premier League bid for a Serie A team like Lecce could be, a deal for Liverpool could actually be extremely likely. Additionally, Dorgu the athlete might already be interested in moving to England at this point in his career.
Dorgu is clearly a player of some potential as the defender played a key role in Lecce winning the biggest youth prize out there in Italian football this season. And with Liverpool firmly active in the market, a move to sign the defender should already be in the works.
Whilst Liverpool are blessed with a number of left-back talents, few have the experience or international pedigree as Dorgu, who himself could relish in the chance of playing at a higher level and training at a club with facilities as good as the Anfield giants.
