Journalist: West Ham have Chelsea star on their radar, Blues yet to receive “formal approach” | OneFootball

West Ham have Filip Jorgensen on their radar, but have yet to make a formal approach for the goalkeeper according to journalist Ben Jacobs.

The Blues signed Jorgensen from Spanish side Villarreal in the summer of 2024 in a deal believed to be worth £20.9m.

Jorgensen has mainly been used in the cup competitions, and has played second fiddle to Robert Sanchez for the majority of his time at the club.

Jorgensen has made just two Premier League appearances this season, which came against Manchester United after Sanchez’s red car and against Manchester City.

The 23-year-old has made seven appearances across all competitions, but despite playing in all the previous rounds wasn’t selected for the Carabao Cup semi final against Arsenal on Wednesday.

It’s been reported the Dane is considering his future as he wants more regular game time ahead of the World Cup this summer, with Turkish side Besiktas said to be interested in Jorgensen.

Chelsea reportedly don’t want to let Jorgensen leave as they’d need to bring a replacement in, and Jacobs has provided an update.

He took to X.com and said:

Filip Jörgensen is on West Ham’s radar, as @NizaarKinsella called.

“Chelsea yet to receive any formal approach. As revealed last year, #CFC have no plans to sanction a Jörgensen loan.

“Any exit would need to be permanent, but there is no suggestion #CFC are actively seeking a sale.

“Jörgensen has been exploring options across Europe since late November as he seeks more minutes knowing Denmark’s No.1 jersey is up for grabs should they qualify for the 2026 World Cup.”

Mike Penders viewed as future Chelsea number one

Whilst Chelsea clearly don’t want to look for another goalkeeper this month, they already have a talented youngster on their books in Mike Penders.

Chelsea are said to believe Penders is special, and it’s clear the 20-year-old is very much viewed as the long term number one.

He’s impressed at Strasbourg this season, and it will be interesting to see what decision Chelsea take with him next season.
