A number of elite teams are keen to sign the winger in January, with Chelsea apparently leading the race for US Lecce prospect Patrick Dorgu. Chelsea is reportedly in the lead for Patrick Dorgu and isn’t discouraged by his asking price of £50 million, according to Caught Offside. Tottenham and Crystal Palace are also interested in signing the US Lecce player, who is in high demand on the market due to numerous English and Italian teams.

Chelsea appears to be preparing for another busy window in January. During the summer, the Blues put on a show, bringing some outstanding new players to Stamford Bridge. Even though they have signed some of the best attacking players, such as Pedro Neto, Joao Felix, and Jadon Sancho, they are still looking for a third player, and Patrick Dorgu is their top choice.

Chelsea too close to sign €60m Serie A star

In Serie A, the Danish dynamite has been in the news for the last 12 months. He has continued to grow after joining Lecce in the summer of 2023. As a full-fledged Denmark international, Dorgu is emerging as a vital member of his club team. In his last six games, the 20-year-old right winger has scored three goals, and on Monday, he scored the game-winning goal as Lecce defeated Venezia in a relegation battle.

The Blues were considering signing him in the summer but were ultimately turned off by his €35 million price tag. He was a Chelsea supporter since his youth. According to a shocking revelation, the West London powerhouses are now in the lead to sign him, even though his price has nearly risen. Even though Lecce is currently requesting €60 million for the Dane after he signed a deal until 2029 last month, CaughtOffside asserts that Chelsea is in the lead for the player. The Serie A team was still reportedly valued at €35–€40 million earlier this week, but this new rumor indicates a far higher asking price.
