Lecce defender Patrick Dorgu has explained his stance amid transfer speculation.

The 18-year-old left-back has already been scouted by many top Premier League teams.

Dorgu has been linked to the likes of Liverpool and Chelsea ahead of the winter transfer window.

"I really just take it as motivation, that when the big teams look at me, it is because I am doing the right thing and must continue. Then it's just a matter of time before the big teams come knocking," he stated to Ekstra Bladet in Denmark.

Dorgu added: "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."
