Chelsea: Chelsea have completed the signing of Denmark under-21 goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen from LaLiga side Villarreal, the Premier League club said on Tuesday.
The 22-year-old, who last season became Villarreal's number one keeper, has signed a seven-year deal, Chelsea said.
The clubs did not disclose the transfer fee but British media reported the deal was worth around 20 million pounds ($25.67 million).
'This move is a dream come true,' Jorgensen told the club website.
'I am very excited to have signed for Chelsea, one of the biggest clubs in the world. I can't wait to get to know everyone and to start playing with all my new teammates.'
