Patrick Dorgu - new left wing back prospect

delighted to see we're linked with him, I wanted to make a thread about him a week ago. He was very highly rated before Lecce, but now it's his second season in Italy and he's doing really well. 2 goals last season from LB/LWB, 2 goals this season already but he's mainly playing right winger - he's very versatile and a huge offensive threat. I watch a bit of Serie A and there's no doubt there are aspects of the game he still needs to improve to become world class - mainly positioning in defence, but also discipline (card happy, likes to take a red, too) and crossing are not his strongest areas.

I'm very hyped about him for a while now and he looks nailed to be a great player for Denmark, I always expected him to come to Premier League soon.
 
I'm getting Malacia vibes from him. Anyone watch him regularly? Doesn't look that special, based on the highlights.
 
never seen the lad play so can't speak that way about him however he does look to have bags of pace and similar to frimpong from Bayer...u need that sort of athleticism to play that wing back role in a 3421

Malacia had no athleticism. He was signed to be a squad player and never really challenge Shaw.

Dorgu clearly has the physicality and legs.

What? He was incredibly athletic. Yeah, he cost around €12m so clearly a back-up.

Gonna go ahead and assume theres nothing to this
 
I like this player. He's versatile, has tons of pace and athleticism. He's perfect for the LWB role. If we can't bring in Davies on a free, Dorgu makes a lot of sense. Whilst he's played in Seria A, I think with his speed, he will be a good fit for the EPL. Remember Udogie came from Serie A too, and he's doing well for Spurs.
 
He's pretty highly rated. I'm sure Conte was trying to tap him up after the game last week
 
his pace looks similar to the young kid Quenda at sporting....who i wouldn't be shocked if they go back for him next summer
