A key member of the first-team ranks at La Liga outfit Villarreal was recently the subject of contact on the part of one of the Premier League’s leading clubs.
The player in question? Filip Jörgensen.
The name of goalkeeper Jörgensen has found itself front and centre in the media headlines in Spain for some time now.
As much comes with the Danish youth international fresh off something of a breakout campaign in La Liga.
Jörgensen acted as a near ever-present between the posts for Villarreal in 2023/24, thoroughly impressing on his way to starts in all but two of the Yellow Submarine’s league outings.
And his exploits, it is understood, did not go at all unnoticed across the continent.
Still just 22, Jörgensen is considered a potential star in the making, giving rise to recent links with a number of leading European clubs.
One such outfit, meanwhile, as alluded to above, come in the form of big-spending Chelsea.
Jörgensen recently put pen to paper on fresh terms with Villarreal, linking him with the Castellón club through the summer of 2029.
But as much, evidently, has not put Chelsea off his scent…
As per a report from transfer insider Matteo Moretto of Relevo:
‘Chelsea are attentive to the situation of Villarreal’s Filip Jørgensen. The first contacts between the parties have already occurred.’
It now remains to be seen just how serious the Blues brass are when it comes to actually thrashing out a deal for the talented shot-stopper.
