Perseverance: Versatile player moves “to Chelsea” – asking price affordable for Blues

On September 9, we reported on claims from Italy that Tottenham Hotspur were ready to launch an attack to sign Patrick Dorgu.

Two days later, Gazzetta dello Sport reported that Chelsea are pursuing the US Lecce star after Tottenham showed interest. The 19-year-old has also attracted the attention of Italian clubs.

A new report from Tutto Juve speaks of interest from Chelsea and Juventus in Dorgu.

Lecce appointed Luca Gotti as their new coach in March, using the player mainly on the left and right wings.

His impressive performances for the club earned him his debut for Denmark earlier this month, and these performances also attracted interest from several teams, including Chelsea.

It is claimed that the Danish international’s qualities “fascinate Chelsea”.

Dorgu's contract runs until 2027 and Lecce estimate his value at €30 million. That should be affordable for the Blues. At the same time, the Serie A team is working on extending the player's contract as he is popular with “many” other teams.

The headline of Tutto Juve is “Dorgu vs Chelsea”.
