Filip Jörgensen leaves Chelsea preseason tour to join RC Strasbourg

Filip Jörgensen has departed Chelsea's preseason tour in Australia to finalize a move to RC Strasbourg. The agreement for the 24-year-old goalkeeper is reportedly almost complete, although it remains unclear whether the transfer will be permanent or a loan. Jörgensen has served as the backup keeper for Chelsea but struggled to establish a more prominent role. His departure likely affects Chelsea's goalkeeping depth, as Mike Penders is expected to take on the backup spot. Jörgensen's transition to Strasbourg may also influence the future of fellow Chelsea keeper Gaga Slonina, who had been on trial with the French club.
