In Thursday's match against Heidenheim, Filip Jorgensen was a standout player for Chelsea, helping them secure a 2-0 victory. His impressive performance has caught the eye of former player Peter Crouch, who believes Jorgensen should be given the chance to start in their upcoming Premier League game against Aston Villa.
Chelsea's perfect record in the UEFA Conference League continued with goals from Christopher Nkunku and Mykhailo Mudryk, but it was Jorgensen's contributions that truly shone. Despite being a relatively new addition to the team, having joined from Villarreal for a hefty sum of £20.7 million, Jorgensen made his fourth appearance in the competition. This is in contrast to his limited appearances in the Premier League, where Enzo Maresca has chosen to stick with first-choice goalkeeper Robert Sanchez.
But with Villa coming to Stamford Bridge this weekend, Crouch believes it's time for Jorgensen to make his Premier League debut, with Sanchez taking a seat on the bench. "Chelsea didn't have an easy time tonight, and Jorgensen had to come to the rescue quite a few times," Crouch commented on TNT Sports. "I think he deserves a shot, I have to say. There's been a lot of talk surrounding Sanchez and his mistakes, and he's looked a bit shaky at times. But every time I've seen Jorgensen play, he's been faultless."
Echoing Crouch's sentiments, former Chelsea winger Joe Cole was also impressed by Jorgensen's performance in goal. "He's a quiet presence in the team, you don't hear much about him, but he gets the job done," Cole said. "What's interesting is that even though Chelsea have had an easy time in this competition, Jorgensen has faced a lot of challenges and has risen to the occasion every time. He has great positioning and consistency, and he's definitely pushing for a starting spot."
It's clear that Jorgensen has made a strong impression on both Crouch and Cole, and it seems that he has also caught the attention of Chelsea fans. With his solid performances and ability to handle pressure, it's only a matter of time before he becomes a regular starter for the team. Perhaps his Premier League debut against Aston Villa will be just the beginning of a successful career with Chelsea.
