Lecce’s promising left-back, Patrick Dorgu, has opened up about his potential international career, with options to play for either Denmark or Nigeria. Born in Denmark to Nigerian parents, Dorgu has already made a mark in youth international football, having debuted for Denmark’s U19 team in a European Championship qualifier.

As the 2024 European Championship approaches, Dorgu finds himself at a crossroads, eligible to represent his birth nation, Denmark, or his ancestral homeland, Nigeria. Despite the looming decision, Dorgu remains focused on his club career and the dream of playing in Germany for the Euros.

In a recent interview with Bold, Dorgu expressed his current stance on the matter: “I haven’t thought about that. Everyone dreams of being able to represent their country,” he said. “I was born in Denmark and have African roots, and right now I haven’t thought about having to make a choice. I just play football and let it come with time.”

Dorgu’s situation highlights the often complex identity and loyalty dynamics faced by players with multinational backgrounds in the world of football.
