Premier League giants Chelsea have reportedly found their first-choice goalkeeper for next season.

Incoming Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca is quickly warming to his task by scouring Europe for quality additions to his side ahead of next season.

Maresca, expected to complete a deal to take over the Blues imminently, is expected to be heavily involved in recruitment, and one area of concern is finding a new goalkeeper.

The Blues used two goalkeepers last season; Robert Sánchez and Dorđe Petrovic, neither of whom looked convinced entirely since arriving at Stamford Bridg, and it’s no shock to see the club lining up a replacement

According to TeamTalk, the Blues have their sights firmly set on Villarreal’s stopper Filip Jorgensen, who established himself as first choice for the Yellow Submarine last season.

The 22-year-old reportedly has a release clause of around £35m, which should not be too much trouble for the big-spending Blues.

Any new signing in that area is likely to see one of the two goalkeepers already at the club, placed on the transfer list.
