Chelsea have successfully signed Filip Jorgensen from Villareal. The 22-year-old is a top talent. The Blues want him as a back up for Robert Sanchez. They were poor in the last season. They would finish 6th in the Premier League. But, they would end up losing their UEL spot. Man Utd beat Man City in the FA Cup to book their place in the UEL. As a result, the Blues will now be featuring in the UECL. Moreover, Newcastle are now out of Europe altogether. Pochettino’s men would also lose in the EFL Cup final. Liverpool beat them in extra time to win the trophy.
Now, they plan to get back on their feet. Former Leicester manager Enzo Maresca has already joined. He will be hoping to guide his side back into the top 4. They have failed rather badly since their UCL 2021. They have become more of a mid-table team as of late. While they have been very active in the market, the same is not true for on-the-pitch situation. Moreover, they have become infamous for buying young unproven players for a lot of money. But, they are looking a bit better in this year’s window. Chelsea fans will be keen to see Filip Jorgensen in action.
Filip Jorgensen signs with Chelsea
Chelsea have made a deal for Filip Jorgensen with Villareal. They had to pay a little north of £20 million for the keeper. As per extratime.com, he has signed a 7-year long deal. Fans are well aware of how good he is. His on-the-ball skills are quite impressive. At the same time, his distribution over the field is quite great. Also, he is quite young and could be a nice long term option for the Blues. Also, he doesn’t lack experience for his age. As per en.wikipedia.org, he already has 77 appearances at the club level.
But, the 22-year-old is yet to play internationally for the first team. He has played as a youth player for various club academies. He has featured as a youth player for Sweden and Denmark national team. Many regard him as a modern day goalkeeper. As per transfermarkt.co.in, he already has 23 clean sheets. Chelsea will be delighted to land Filip Jorgensen. He has a lot of potential to be a great keeper. At the same time, Nicolas Jackson will also be pretty happy with the move. The striker will be re-uniting with his former Villareal teammate.
Surplus of keepers at the Stamford Bridge
Filip Jorgensen has joined Chelsea. But, the Blues already have plenty of keepers available with them. At the same time, they will have to address some key concerns. Kepa was on a season-long loan at Real Madrid and now has returned. He wants to stay in Spain though. But, Courtois is back from injury for Real. So, Kepa may end up losing his place. At the same time, Andriy Lunin could be leaving Los Blancos. Then, Real may try retaining Kepa.
On the other hand, the Blues already have a lot of keepers with them. In fact, Sanchez and Petrovic were signed just last summer. Some keepers will have to be sent out. We may see plenty of loan deals formulating as a result. While they have a lot of options, there will be a lot of competition for places. At the same time, Filip Jorgensen will be keen to become a starter with Chelsea. But, as it stands, that will be far from easy. Maresca will have a tough choice to make. Fans will be hoping to see some wonders at the back. Especially, given the talent they have managed to acquire.
