The journey to Dorgu's promising start

Before his arrival at the club, many Reds around the world wouldn’t have known a huge amount about the 20-year-old, who only made his debut in senior football last season, but the Denmark international has made a positive impression so far.

One of four children, Patrick - who has a Christian middle name - is surrounded by a family who is religious but also embedded in sport, with two brothers who are footballers and a sister who plays handball.

Admittedly a Chelsea fan as a boy whose childhood idol was Eden Hazard, Patrick grew up in the Husum neighbourhood of Copenhagen to Nigerian parents who have always supported and encouraged their children’s education.
