Report: Chelsea's Filip Jorgensen rejects Strasbourg loan, Mike Penders set to step up
Chelsea's young goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen has reportedly turned down a loan move to their sister club Strasbourg, opting to stay and compete for a spot at Stamford Bridge, according to L'Equipe.

The 23-year-old Dane, who joined the Blues from Villarreal in 2024, was seen as a potential replacement for Djordje Petrovic, who impressed during his loan spell at the Ligue 1 side last season.
Jorgensen's decision to stay reflects his determination to challenge for a place in Chelsea's first team, where he currently competes with Robert Sanchez and other goalkeeping options.
"Filip Jorgensen refused a loan to Strasbourg," reported L'Equipe, highlighting his ambition to prove himself in the Premier League.
Meanwhile, Chelsea have moved quickly to fill the gap at Strasbourg. Sources confirm that 19-year-old Mike Penders, another promising goalkeeper in their ranks, is poised to join the French club on loan after the FIFA Club World Cup.
"Mike Penders could be set for a major step up with a Strasbourg loan move," noted a Chelsea News report, underscoring the club's strategy to develop their young talents through their BlueCo-owned sister club.
Strasbourg, who have benefited from Chelsea's loan pipeline in recent years, are also set to welcome other Blues youngsters, including midfielder Kendry Paez, as they continue to serve as a proving ground for the Premier League giants' prospects.
This move ensures Chelsea's goalkeeping depth remains robust while giving Penders valuable first-team experience in Ligue 1.
