The father of Lecce left back Patrick Chinazaekpere Dorgu said he is aware of interest from Nigeria in the senior international future of his son who is presently a player for the U21 of Denmark.
Dorgu ranks among the breakaway teens of the ongoing Italian Serie A season with 14 games to his name this season including 12 in the Italian Serie A following his elevation from the U19 team just before the start of this season.
On Saturday, he was on for the entire duration of their draw against AC Milan, holding his own as they battle their way back from a two goal deficit to draw 2-2.
Born in Denmark to parents of Nigerian descent, he has played for Denmark at various youth levels but he is stop eligible for Nigeria at senior level, making it a straight fight with the African nation for his international future.
His performance this season has already led to talks of him gatecrashing the squad of the senior national team of Denmark for the European championship, but they face competition for his future with Nigeria also monitoring his rise.
A member of his management team told OwnGoalNigeria.com that the 19 year old hasn’t close the doors on playing for the Super Eagles, because he has Nigerian blood in his veins.
” He is Nigerian so you can’t rule it out. Presently he is with the U21 of Denmark and we will like it to be that way and see what the future holds. Interesting to more that his rise and career decisions have been spot on so far and the same route we will use when it’s time to make a decision on his international future”, a representative of OUS group who recently entered into a partnership with CAA Base on managing the left back told OwnGoalNigeria.com.
