Filip Jorgensen is a professional footballer who Chelsea are interested in signing this summer.
The Blues have made a £17m offer for Jorgensen and it remains to be seen whether Villarreal are willing to let him go.
Enzo Maresca’s side are currently in the United States for their pre-season tour, on which they will face Wrexham in the first of five friendlies on Wednesday night.
Jorgensen is seen as a player who would upgrade Chelsea’s squad, so they will be looking to complete a deal and bring him to America as soon as possible.
The Chelsea Chronicle tells you everything you need to know about the Blues target who suits Enzo Maresca’s style of play perfectly.
Profile
Filip Jorgensen age
Filip Jorgensen was born in Lomma, Sweden on April 16, 2002. He is 22 years of age, the same as Chelsea regulars Cole Palmer and Noni Madueke.
Filip Jorgensen height
Jorgensen is six feet, three inches tall (1.90 metres), above average for a footballer. He is the same height as Axel Disasi, Lesley Ugochukwu and new signing Renato Veiga.
Filip Jorgensen position
Jorgensen is a goalkeeper for Villarreal and Denmark’s under-21 team – which he qualifies for via his Danish father. He was one of the top-performing goalkeepers in La Liga last season.
Filip Jorgensen style of play
The key reason that Jorgensen is on Chelsea’s shortlist is his style of play. Of course, his shot-stopping is crucial but it’s his ball-playing ability that stands out.
Maresca wants his team to play out from the back and there are questions over Robert Sanchez and Djordje Petrovic’s quality in this area. Whereas, Jorgensen would thrive under the new Blues boss.
Career
Filip Jorgensen stats
Jorgensen made his La Liga debut for Villarreal in the 2022/23 season but it was not until the 2023/24 campaign that he became the club’s first-choice goalkeeper. He started 36 league games last season, conceding 63 goals and keeping six clean sheets.
Filip Jorgensen transfer value
Jorgensen has a transfer value of £17m, according to Transfermarkt, which is exactly what Chelsea have offered to sign him. At 22 years of age, his value will likely appreciate over time and an increase in stature from a move to Stamford Bridge would certainly help.
Filip Jorgensen salary
Jorgensen’s weekly salary at Villarreal is €40,000 (£34,000), according to Capology. If Chelsea are able to agree a transfer fee, he will undoubtedly be offered a substantial pay rise.

Filip Jorgensen FIFA rating
The goalkeeper was rated 64 in FIFA 23 and he is now up to 73 in this year’s game, EA Sports FC 24, with a potential rating of 80. His best attributes include kicking (76), handling (75) and reflexes (75).
He will surely receive an upgrade to his rating in EA Sports FC 25, perhaps seeing him up to around 76 – the same as Levi Colwill is at the moment.
