The Blues agree a deal for Villarreal goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen and Boca Juniors defender Aaron Anselmino.
Chelsea have continued their trend of offering long-term contracts by agreeing to sign goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen and defender Aaron Anselmino on seven-year deals
Jorgensen, 22, is set for a medical after a £20.7m fee was agreed and expected to sign a seven-year contract until 2031. Jorgensen will compete to be the club's number one, but his move puts Djordje Petrovic's future in doubt after the Serbian stopper filled in for the injured Robert Sanchez last season as first choice.
"You never know, but at the moment I am training hard," said the former Brighton keeper, 26. "Another goalkeeper? I know what I can bring to the team, what I can do and I am positive in myself."Jorgensen is expected to join up with Chelsea for their US tour, with matches against Celtic, Club America, Manchester City and Real Madrid to come.
