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.

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