Chelsea FC Goalkeeper Filip Jörgensen Set to Join Strasbourg on Loan

Chelsea FC goalkeeper Filip Jörgensen (24) is reportedly set to join Strasbourg on loan, as reported by Dernières Nouvelles d'Alsace. The Denmark international could be the third Chelsea goalkeeper to join the Alsatians in three seasons, following in the footsteps of Djordje Petrovic and Mike Penders.

Why it Matters for Chelsea FC

The loan move would see Jörgensen link up with Strasbourg in the next hours after initial talks with Strasbourg head coach Hugo Oliveira. Oliveira, a former goalkeeping coach turned manager, emphasised the importance of a goalkeeper being heavily involved in build-up play.

What Comes Next?

Jörgensen joined Chelsea from Villarreal two years ago. Those last campaigns, he was mainly Robert Sanchez's understudy at Stamford Bridge. The Sweden-born Denmark international featured 36 times for Chelsea in all competitions.
