Jorgensen is viewed as someone who specifically fits Enzo Maresca\u2019s system because of his ability with the ball at his feet.<\/p>\n<p>Jorgensen signed a new five-year contract with Villarreal as recently as last month. Reports claim his deal includes a release clause worth \u20ac40m (\u00a333.6m).<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea spent \u00a340m last summer recruiting both Robert Sanchez and Djordje Petrovic, having bid farewell to Edouard Mendy and making Kepa Arrizabalaga available for loan. But the Blues have still lacked solidity between the sticks and Kepa is not expected to stick around.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/01j3g5gvpq848kqr79qy.jpg\" alt=\"Djordje Petrovic\" title=\"Djordje Petrovic\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Djordje Petrovic finished last season as Chelsea starter \/ Ryan Pierse\/GettyImages<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<p>Sanchez is believed to have moved back ahead of Petrovic in the pecking order following Maresca\u2019s arrival, with the latter potentially available for transfer if a new face arrives.<\/p>\n<p>Transfer links with Valencia\u2019s Giorgi Mamardashvili, who was on the radar even before a hugely impressive Euro 2024, and Burnley\u2019s James Trafford also emerged earlier this summer.<\/p>\n<p>Born in Sweden, Jorgensen spent much of his early youth career at Malmo but wound up spending a time in Spain from the age of 12, briefly returning to Malmo but then permanently relocating to the Mediterranean when he joined Mallorca\u2019s youth ranks in 2016. He switched to Villarreal a year later.<\/p>\n<p>A concerted effort has been made at Chelsea over the past two seasons to target young players. Very few of the first-team squad are older than 25, with summer arrivals Omari Kellyman, Marc Guiu and Caleb Wiley all still teenagers. Similarly, Renato Veiga is only 20.<\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 1 --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chelsea are reported to have made an approach for Villarreal goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen, another notch in their project of accumulating young and developing talent.
