Chelsea could be about to have to part ways with one of their first team players in January to fulfil his request for more game time.
Filip Jorgensen is reportedly considering a move away from Stamford Bridge after seeing minutes become very difficult to come by since joining the club.
The Danish goalkeeper has made just four appearances this season, with his only outing in the Premier League coming after Robert Sanchez’s red card.
Who is Chelsea’s best goalkeeper?
It looked as if Jorgensen’s time at Chelsea was up after he was not one of the rotated players brought in to face Qarabag in the Champions League.
Chelsea rule out loaning out Filip Jorgensen in January
Now, it has become clear he is fed up with not playing, and with a World Cup coming at the end of the season he will want to be firmly in his nation’s thinking.
Despite his desire to go and get game time, it looks as if this will not come in the form of a loan move.
Ben Jacobs has reported that Chelsea have no plans to sanction a temporary exit, with his most likely option being a permanent move.
He said: “Understand Chelsea have no plans to sanction a Filip Jorgensen loan in January. Danish keeper open to options in order to get more game time, but a temporary exit not currently on the cards as far as Chelsea are concerned.”
Chelsea eyeing a new goalkeeper
Despite Sanchez greatly improving in recent months, there are still plenty of reports linking Chelsea to a new goalkeeper next summer.
The Blues were very keen on Mike Maignan before the Club World Cup, however a deal did not get over the line.
Despite this, Chelsea are the favourites to sign Maignan at the end of the season when his contract comes to an end.
The Frenchman will bring instant experience to a young side, playing at the top level for both club and country.
