The 22-year-old <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/chelsea-filip-jorgensen-joins-enzo-maresca-side-villarreal-dane-arrives-challenge-for-no-1-spot/blt281e757fd38d3645#csf48c3cb843d71166" target="_blank">completed his £21 million ($25m) move from the Spanish side</a> on Tuesday, signing a seven-year deal in the process. As he prepares to link up with his new team-mates during Chelsea's pre-season tour of the United States, the Denmark Under-21 international spoke of his admiration for Chelsea legend Cech - who played 494 times for the west London outfit - and said that moving to Stamford Bridge was a "dream come true".<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">Filip Jorgensen, our new Blue! 💙🇩🇰 <a href="https://t.co/QBrqBmfdnK">pic.twitter.com/QBrqBmfdnK</a>— Chelsea FC (@ChelseaFC) <a href="https://twitter.com/ChelseaFC/status/1818403803722354959?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 30, 2024</a></blockquote>

WHAT HAPPENED?

He said in an interview with Chelsea’s official website: "This move is a dream come true. I am very excited to have signed for Chelsea, one of the biggest clubs in the world. I can’t wait to get to know everyone and to start playing with all my new teammates“I am very happy with how the last 12 months have panned out. I am very confident in myself and I know what qualities I have. Luckily I had the chance to show myself on the biggest stage in Spain and now I am very happy to have the chance to do that at one of the biggest clubs in the world.“I always liked watching Chelsea because I watched a lot of Petr Cech growing up, so Chelsea were one of my favourite teams to follow.”

WHAT FILIP JORGENSEN SAID

Jorgensen will now compete to be Chelsea's first-choice keeper with Robert Sanchez and Djordje Petrovic. Incidentally, he becomes the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/completed-chelsea-transfers-2024-25/blt2611fdaeaefac651" target="_blank">Blues' seventh summer signing</a> after the arrivals of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Omari Kellyman, Renato Veiga, Caleb Wiley, Marc Guiu and Tosin Adarabioyo.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Jorgensen, who made 37 appearances in all competitions last season for Villarreal, could play for his new team for the first time when they take on Manchester City in a pre-season friendly on August 3, or perhaps against Real Madrid four days later.
