Chelsea appear to be closing in on their next couple of signings, which includes Villarreal goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen.
Chelsea have been busy in this summer’s transfer window and are set to do even more business.
Filip Jorgensen will become a new Chelsea player soon, while Boca Juniors defender Aaron Anselmino is also closing in on a move to west London.
Earlier this week, it was reported that Anselmino would have his Chelsea medical in the United States, where the Blues are currently on tour.
While Jorgensen and Anselmino have not been announced as signings just yet, Enzo Maresca has still given his verdict on the two.
Enzo Maresca rates Filip Jorgensen
The new Chelsea manager was quite coy when asked about Chelsea signing Jorgensen and Anselmino this summer.
However, Maresca made it clear that he thinks both the goalkeeper and centre-back are “very good” players.
When asked to confirm Jorgensen and Anselmino’s medicals, the Italian told football.london and other outlets: “No. The only thing I can say is they are still Boca Juniors and Villarreal players.
“The moment they arrive, we will make some comment but at this moment, they are still not our player, so we will see. I know both of them. And both of them are very good.”
Marseille also wanted Jorgensen, but it looks like the 22-year-old has chosen to join Chelsea over the French club.
Filip Jorgensen a ‘very good’ player
Last season, Jorgensen probably did prove that he is a very good player, as Maresca has stated.
According to FBref, the Denmark U21 international made 143 saves in La Liga, the most in the division and 30 more than what Almeria’s Luis Maximiano managed, who was the next highest on the list.
Jorgensen probably needs another solid season, though, before everyone agrees that he is a top player.
He will now have the chance to prove himself in the Premier League, the best division in the world, though his arrival could see one of Chelsea’s current shot-stoppers depart Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea’s move for Jorgensen has thrown Djordje Petrovic’s future into doubt. The Serbian is likely to leave west London this summer, as Maresca will not be able to keep him, Jorgensen and Robert Sanchez all happy.
