1 month ago

Chelsea have signed 22-year-old goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen from Villarreal, immediately flying the young shot-stopper to the United States to begin training under Enzo Maresca.

Seen as an ideal candidate for Maresca's style of play, Jorgensen was present in Atlanta for a session at Pace Academy after his £21million move was completed on Tuesday.

Maresca was keen to add a new shot-stopper to his squad to boost his bid to play out from the back. Chelsea’s goalkeepers have been taking part in passing drills in training.

Now that Jorgensen has been signed, the club will need to find a new home for Kepa Arrizabalaga after he spent last season on loan at Real Madrid.

Djordje Petrovic could also leave with Robert Sanchez, Marcus Bettinelli, Lucas Bergstrom and Eddie Beach the goalkeepers currently with Chelsea on their tour of the United States.

Petrovic was left at Cobham as he was carrying an injury.

Chelsea start the next Premier League season at home to Manchester City on August 18. 

In pre-season, they have so far drawn 2-2 with Wrexham and lost 4-1 to Celtic, with Club America up next on Wednesday.
