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).
