Strasbourg closing in to sign Chelsea goalkeeper Filip Jørgensen

RC Strasbourg Alsace is reportedly on the verge of signing Chelsea FC goalkeeper Filip Jørgensen on a loan deal without an option to purchase. The 24-year-old Danish shot-stopper is expected to bolster the French club's first-choice goalkeeping position after the departure of Mike Penders, who was also on loan at RC Strasbourg last season.

Standing at 1.92 meters tall, Jørgensen started his professional career at Villarreal CF before moving to Chelsea in 2024. Although Jørgensen played a crucial role in Chelsea's Conference League title win that year, he struggled as Robert Sánchez's backup during the 2025-26 campaign, featuring only 12 times without a single clean sheet.
