Chelsea wants to sign a player from Villarreal who is interested in joining their team at Stamford Bridge.

Villarreal's goalkeeper, Filip Jorgensen, has been turning heads with his impressive performances on the field. As the summer transfer window approaches, Chelsea is on the lookout for a new goalkeeper and has set their sights on Jorgensen. The Blues have wasted no time and have already made an initial move for the young talent from Villarreal.

Last season, Chelsea had Djordje Petrovic and Robert Sanchez competing for the position between the posts, while Kepa Arrizabalaga was on loan at Real Madrid. However, it seems that the club is not satisfied with their current options and is actively pursuing Jorgensen. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, an initial approach has been made to Villarreal, but the negotiation process is still in its early stages.

Jorgensen is eager for a potential deal to go through, but Chelsea is also considering other options. One of them being Mads Hermansen from Leicester City. At the age of 22, Jorgensen may not have a wealth of experience, but he made a big impact last season with 36 appearances in La Liga and the most saves of any goalkeeper in the division. Born in Sweden, Jorgensen represented the country at the youth level before switching to Denmark, his father's home country. He has also played for Denmark's Under-21 team.

While Jorgensen's talent has caught Chelsea's attention, Villarreal is not keen on letting go of their prized goalkeeper. They recently signed him to a new contract, with a term that will keep him at the club until 2029. This means that Chelsea will have to pay a hefty price if they want to secure his services.

It has already been a busy summer for Chelsea in the transfer market, with several new signings such as Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Renato Veiga, Marc Guiu, Tosin Adarabioyo, Omari Kellyman, and most recently, Caleb Wiley from Atlanta United. The 19-year-old defender's arrival was announced on Monday, adding to the club's growing list of new talents.
