Gamers snubbing Liverpool for Chelsea was one thing of a recurring theme through the summer time switch window, with each Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia choosing a transfer to west London fairly than Merseyside.
Thus far, it’s a call the pair may be regretting. They’ve made solely 4 Premier League appearances between them for a crew languishing in 14th place (WhoScored), whereas the Reds are flying excessive in second because the closest challengers to a to this point flawless Manchester Metropolis.
Dorgu could understandably discover it tough to withstand a possibility to maneuver to Stamford Bridge given his self-proclaimed standing as a boyhood Blues fan, but when he have been to determine along with his head fairly than his coronary heart, he would possibly see Anfield because the smarter vacation spot when it comes to profession development.
