Filip Jorgensen, a 22-year-old goalkeeper from Denmark, has joined Chelsea from LaLiga club Villarreal. The Premier League side announced the signing on Tuesday, confirming that the young shot-stopper has committed his future to the club with a long-term, seven-year contract.
Jorgensen had recently established himself as Villarreal's first-choice goalkeeper during the previous season.
Although the exact transfer fee remains undisclosed by both the clubs, reports from British media outlets suggest that the deal is valued at approximately 20 million pounds ($25.67 million).
The Danish under-21 international will now embark on a new chapter in his career at Stamford Bridge, where he will aim to make an impact and compete for a starting position in the Chelsea squad.

"This move is a dream come true," Jorgensen told the club website.
"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."

Jorgensen, who has a Danish father and a Swedish mother, was born in Sweden. During his youth, he played for Swedish national teams. However, in May 2021, he made the decision to represent Denmark instead of Sweden at the international level.
