RC Strasbourg Alsace have officially announced the signing of Filip Jörgensen (24) on a season-long loan from Chelsea FC. 

Jörgensen’s arrival marks the end of Strasbourg’s pursuit of a new goalkeeper for the upcoming season. The role had been left vacant at the end of last season when Mike Penders’ (21) loan from Chelsea came to an end. 

L’Équipe reports that since Thursday, Jörgensen has been in France waiting for the move to be completed. However, it was held up due to administrative issues. Now that those issues have been cleared and Jörgensen has officially signed, he’ll be able to compete in Strasbourg’s final friendly, which will take place against Newcastle United on Saturday. 

The very next game will be the season opener away to Olympique de Marseille on Friday the 21st of August. Strasbourg have struggled in preseason having conceded 20 goals in five friendlies, something that new coach Hugo Oliviera will hope Jörgensen will help fix.
