Chelsea have officially announced the signing of Danish goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen from Spanish La Liga club Villarreal.

Jorgensen joins the Blues on a seven-year contract until 2031, and will link up with his new teammates during their summer tour in the USA.

The 22-year-old made his senior debut for Villarreal B in October 2020 and soon started training with the first-team squad.

He made his first-team debut in December 2021 in a Copa del Rey match, and his La Liga debut followed in January 2023.

Ahead of the 2023/24 season, Jorgensen established himself as Villarreal’s number one goalkeeper.

Expressing his happiness, the player said, “This move is a dream come true. I am very excited to have signed for Chelsea, one of the biggest clubs in the world.

I can’t wait to get to know everyone and to start playing with all my new teammates.”
