FC Nordsjaelland midfielder Mario Dorgeles is attracting interest from Premier League duo Newcastle United and Chelsea ahead of the summer transfer window.
Mario Dorgeles, 19, is the latest highly-rated prospect to rise in prominence at FC Nordsjaelland after Ibrahim Osman, who has already been captured by Brighton and Hove Albion and will arrive at the Amex Stadium officially in July 2024. The midfield sensation has racked up 22 appearances across all competitions thus far, scoring a goal. His performances in the middle of the park for FC Nordsjaelland has alerted several European bigwigs.
Newcastle United could reportedly battle Chelsea for the signing of Dorgeles in the summer. Arsenal are also following the progress of the teenager, who has a contract with the Danish outfit until 2026.
The Magpies have been offered the opportunity to sign Dorgeles after he caught the attention of several Premier League scouts in the Danish league. The talented youngster was recommended to the Tyneside-based club by sporting director Dan Ashworth before he was put on gardening leave last month.
Mario Dorgeles on the radar of Premier League heavyweights
Newcastle United and Chelsea are no strangers to snapping up the up-and-coming talents from around the globe.
The Eddie Howe-managed club are active in the transfer market for young talents with high potential, with Yankubah Minteh set for first-team integration next season after impressing on loan at Eredivisie side Feyenoord. Meanwhile, the Blues have aggressively poached young talents across the world under the Todd Boehly regime, with highly-rated gems like Kendry Paez and Deivid Washington joining the club.
Potentially enjoying his breakout campaign at Nordsjaelland, Mario Dorgeles has now become the subject of interest from both clubs. A hard-working, tenacious defensive midfielder who can also operate as a No.8, the youth Ivory Coast international has caught the attention of several clubs with his ball-winning, tackling and passing skills.
Given his emergence and interest from top clubs, Nordsjaelland faces a battle on their hands to keep hold of Dorgeles at the end of the season.
