Goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen was the latest new arrival to join the Chelsea squad as a new signing over night, joining straight into first team training over in the USA as well.
The stopper joined from Villarreal and it looks like he is going to be directly competing with Robert Sanchez as the Chelsea number one.

‘It was very important for me to come here as quickly as possible and get involved as early as I could to be prepared for the new season, to learn how the manager wants to play, and to get to know everyone,’ Jorgensen tells Chelsea staff at the team hotel in Atlanta.
‘I am very happy with how the last 12 months have panned out,’ he acknowledges. ‘I am very confident in myself and I know what qualities I have.
‘Luckily I had the chance to show myself on the biggest stage in Spain and now I am very happy to have the chance to do that at one of the biggest clubs in the world.
‘I always liked watching Chelsea because I watched a lot of Petr Cech growing up, so Chelsea were one of my favourite teams to follow,’ he adds with a smile.
‘Robert Sanchez has been with the national team of Spain, where I live, and I followed him a bit when he was at Brighton and now Chelsea,’ says Jorgensen.
‘I know he is a very good goalkeeper and I hope we can learn from each other and produce the best versions of ourselves together.’
