Chelsea close in on seventh summer signing as they bid for Villarreal star

Chelsea are making a move to sign a new player as they look to complete their seventh signing this summer.

The Blues are currently in the market for a new goalkeeper as they look to upgrade the goalkeeping position.

Enzo Maresca has identified Villarreal's number one goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen as the player to solve the goalkeeping problem.

Chelsea have now made an offer to the Yellow Submarine for the signing of Filip Jorgensen as they negotiate a deal.

With uncertainty surrounding the futures of Djordje Petrovic and Kepa Arrizabalaga, Chelsea has made an official approach for Villarreal’s Filip Jorgensen.

According to Fabrizio Romano on X, Chelsea are offering Villarreal roughly €20 million for Jorgensen in their initial proposal.

This follows earlier conversations that were made public this week and implied that he might be a fresh face in goal for Enzo Maresca's group. Jorgensen is excited to be moving.

The Blues are said to be keen on a LaLiga-based shot-stopper to solve the club’s crisis between the sticks.

The chance to play for the two-time Champions League winners excites 22-year-old Swedish international Jorgensen.

If the transfer goes through, Jorgensen will be Chelsea's seventh summer addition as they get ready for a better season under new manager Enzo Maresca. 

Chelsea have already signed Tosin Adarabioyo, Marc Guiu, Caleb Wiley, Renato Veiga, Omari Kellyman, and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.
