Denmark coach Hjulmand on Chelsea, Liverpool target Dorgu: Very exciting talent

Denmark coach Kasper Hjulmand has sung the praises of Lecce fullback Patrick Dorgu.

The teen is being tracked by Chelsea and Liverpool this season.

Hjulmand said: "He is a very, very exciting left back, and let's see tomorrow if he turns up in the U21 team.

"I know his story all the way back from when he was a boy. He then went to Lecce, where he helped win the Primavera.

"He is a player who loves to play football and who loves to train and be there. He has a great physical package and he has a basic technique that can be used.

"A left-footed left-back with that package is very, very exciting. The things that I think he falls for, it's something that can be learned.

"An exciting young player who we follow closely and are very much looking forward to following."
