Leeds United said to be showing ‘firm interest’ in Chelsea goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen
Leeds United are reportedly showing firm interest in Chelsea goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen.
The 24-year-old moved to the Premier League in the summer of 2024, completing a switch from Villareal for a reported £20m.
He penned a seven-year contract but could seemingly be on the move just two years into his Stamford Bridge deal.

Leeds United linked with Chelsea goalkeeper
According to SportsBoom, Leeds are among the clubs showing firm interest in giving the Finland international a new home.
He is said to be desperate for regular football after managing just 36 appearances across two years in the capital.
The report has indicated there is Championship interest in Jorgensen, but that he would prefer to stay in the top tier.
Leeds United goalkeeper uncertainty
Leeds have been linked with a clutch of goalkeepers in recent weeks and unsurprisingly so given the level of uncertainty over Lucas Perri and Karl Darlow.
The former flattered to decieve in his maiden Premier League campaign, losing his spot to the former in January. Darlow is out of contract at the end of the month and has been reported as a potential target for Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United.

Even if Darlow does commit to another year of football in LS11, there may be a desire to get a new goalkeeper on board.
