Why do Chelsea want Villarreal goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen?
Jorgensen is not the only goalkeeper that Chelsea are interested in this summer but it seems like the Swedish talent is the route they would prefer to go down to address their issues between the sticks.
The 22-year-old became the starting goalkeeper for Villarreal last season having come through the La Liga club’s youth academy and making his debut during the campaign before. The Swedish shot-stopper featured in 37 games for the yellow submarine, keeping just six clean sheets in what was a tricky campaign for the club.
Jorgenson has caught the attention of a lot of clubs as he is a very modern goalkeeper with the 22-year-old being exceptional with his feet. This will be one of the biggest attractions for Chelsea as it is an attribute Enzo Maresca is primarily looking for.
