Defender reveals ‘huge dream’ to join Chelsea as Tottenham handed major injury concern
All the latest news and transfer rumours surrounding Chelsea and Tottenham.
The Blues have struggled again so far this season, winning just one of their first six Premier League games and suffering another defeat last time out, at home to Aston Villa. As for Tottenham, they have won four of their first six games, standing up to a firm test against rivals Arsenal over the weekend, drawing 2-2 in the North London derby at the Emirates Stadium.
Here we round up the latest news and transfer rumours surrounding both Chelsea and Tottenham.
Dorgu admission
Lecce defender Patrick Dorgu has declared his wish to join Chelsea at some point in the future.
The 18-year-old left-back is making a name for himself, already a enmark under-21 international, while he has already made five senior league appearances for Lecce. Whether Chelsea would consider signing him is another thing, but Dorgu has said he would like to play as a home player at Stamford Bridge at one point.
He said, as cited by Ekstra Bladet: “Chelsea is my dream to play for. I’ve been a fan of them for over ten years, so playing for them would be a huge dream.”
Johnson concern
Tottenham have been handed a big injury concern in the form of key striker Brennan Johnson.
Johnson, who was signed as one of Harry Kane’s replacement for a fee of more than £47million during the summer transfer window, and he has shown plenty of promise early on. But the Welshman limped off with a hamstring injury against Arsenal, and Football London are reporting that he could be out for up to six weeks.
Tottenham will carry out scans and tests to determine how long Johnson will be out, but it seems unlikley Johnson will be fit to face Liverpool this weekend.
