Chelsea close in on sealing £21m deal for Villarreal's Filip Jorgensen with goalkeeper set to join on a SEVEN-YEAR contract to compete with Robert Sanchez for the No 1 spot

Chelsea are closing in on a £20.7million deal for Villarreal goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen.

The 22-year-old is due to undergo a medical this week ahead of agreeing a seven-year contract.

As reported by Mail Sport, the Blues had offered £17m but Villarreal held out for £21m - with both clubs reaching a compromise in recent days.

Jorgensen is thought to be keen to join the club to compete with current No 1 Robert Sanchez and will pledge his long-term future to Stamford Bridge.

He could now fly out to the United States for his medical checks.
