RC Strasbourg Signs Filip Jörgensen on Loan from Chelsea FC
RC Strasbourg Alsace has officially confirmed the signing of Filip Jörgensen (24) on a season-long loan from Chelsea FC. This move marks the conclusion of Strasbourg’s search for a new goalkeeper ahead of the upcoming season, a position that became vacant when Mike Penders’ (21) loan from Chelsea ended.
Reports from L’Équipe indicate that Jörgensen had already been in France since Thursday, awaiting the conclusion of the transfer. His signing was initially delayed due to administrative hurdles, but those issues have now been resolved. Jörgensen will be eligible to participate in Strasbourg’s final friendly match against Newcastle United on Saturday.
Following this friendly, Strasbourg will kick off the season with an away match against Olympique de Marseille on Friday, August 21. The team has faced challenges during the preseason, having conceded 20 goals over five friendly matches. New coach Hugo Oliviera will be looking to Jörgensen to help strengthen the defense as the competitive season begins.
