Chelsea have completed the signing of Denmark Under-21 goalkeeper Filip Jörgensen from LaLiga side Villarreal, the Premier League club announced on Tuesday.
The 22-year-old, who became Villarreal's number one goalkeeper last season, has signed a seven-year contract, Chelsea said.
The clubs did not disclose the transfer fee, but British media reported the deal was worth around £20 million (US$25.67 million).
“This signing is a dream come true,” Jörgensen told club media.
“I'm really excited to have signed for Chelsea, one of the biggest clubs in the world. I can't wait to meet everyone and start playing with all my new teammates.”
Born in Sweden to a Danish father and a Swedish mother, Jörgensen represented Sweden at youth level before moving to Denmark in May 2021.
