New Chelsea goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen out to steal No. 1 spot from Robert Sanchez under Enzo Maresca

Jorgensen arrived from Villarreal earlier this week and made the trip to the United States to link up with Chelsea on their pre-season tour. He was signed in time to play against Club America in a pre-season friendly and came on at half-time, keeping a clean sheet in the second half as the Blues won 3-0.

The stopper replaced Sanchez at half-time and has outlined his excitement at competing with the Spaniard for the starting goalkeeper spot under Enzo Maresca. The 22-year-old played 44 times for Villarreal in total, and is a Denmark Under-21 international.

Jorgensen told Chelsea's website: "Competition is always good. I came here to compete with him and obviously the one who plays is up to the manager.

"So I will try to do my best every day in training and then at the end of it the manager will decide who plays.

"Everyone to be honest is working with me very well. Robert as well, he seems to be a very good guy, a good trainer. I think it will be healthy competition and a good competition."

Chelsea play Manchester City this weekend and then face Real Madrid and Inter in their final pre-season friendlies. Jorgensen will hope to keep a few more clean sheets to put himself in contention to start the opening Premier League game of the season, which is also against City.
