Liverpool and Chelsea intensify pursuit of 18-year-old defensive talent

Liverpool and Chelsea are reportedly showing strong interest in signing the talented young defender Patrick Dorgu.

According to Fichajes, Premier League clubs have been impressed by Dorgu's performances in the Italian league, and they see him as a promising, long-term investment.

The Blues made significant investments in players like Marc Cucurella, but the former Brighton defender has failed to meet expectations at Stamford Bridge.

Currently, Ben Chilwell is the only dependable left-back at the club, and Chelsea could benefit from additional depth in that position. The Danish teenager could potentially serve as Chilwell's backup and compete for a starting role in the team.

On the other hand, the Reds are in need of a high-quality alternative to Andrew Robertson. While the 29-year-old has been outstanding since his move from Hull City, his performances have been somewhat inconsistent in the past year.

It appears that both clubs have escalated their efforts to secure the 18-year-old defender's signature. The key question now is whether they can come to an agreement with Lecce regarding the transfer fee.
