The Danish keeper signed for Chelsea from Spanish side Villarreal on Tuesday and joined Enzo Maresca’s squad on our tour of the USA in time to train with his new team-mates that day.

Filip Jorgensen's arrival was then followed by his first appearance for the club, being introduced at half-time in our 3-0 friendly win over Club America in Atlanta. The Blues were already two up at that point, after Christopher Nkunku’s penalty and a Marc Guiu header diverted into his own net by defender Cristian Calderon.

Jorgensen helped us to see out the win in relative comfort in the second half, Noni Madueke adding a third from the penalty spot, as our new goalkeeper marked his debut with a clean sheet.

‘It’s been a busy few days,’ reflected Filip after the win over the Mexican champions in the US.

‘There have been many new things to take in and it’s been busy, but finally I’ve taken the first steps and made my debut as well. So I’m very happy and now I will keep building and getting to know the players better.

‘Keeping a clean sheet is the best feeling. It was a bit hard because I only did one training with the team and I didn’t have so much time to get to know all the players yet, but I’m happy with the debut and that we didn’t concede any goals.

‘A lot happened in these last few months but I’m very happy to be here at Chelsea. I just want to keep building, get better, get to know the staff and all the players better, and how we play.’

Jorgensen entered the action at the break as a replacement for Robert Sanchez. With senior keepers Jorgensen, Sanchez and Marcus Bettinelli joined by youngsters Lucas Bergstrom and Eddie Beach on our US tour, plus Djordje Petrovic back in England, the Danish Under-21 international knows there is set to be plenty of competition for the No1 spot this season, starting with the pair who shared the playing time in Georgia on Wednesday.

‘Competition is always good,’ he added. ‘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.’

The man making that decision will be Enzo Maresca, himself a new arrival at the Blues, having moved from Leicester City to become Chelsea head coach this summer.

The Italian brings with him a fresh style of play and Jorgensen believes it is a system which will suit him well.

‘We talked a bit, just very shortly, before I signed,’ said the 22-year-old about his first impression of Maresca. ‘He wanted me to come here and I wanted to come here, so it was a short conversation. Just to get to know each other a bit.

‘In Spain we always tried to build from the back and tried to play out with the goalkeeper, so I would say I am pretty comfortable with that.

‘I asked how the manager wants to play but it’s been very quick. I trained the day before the game, but I’m looking forward to getting to know his style of play better.’

That work will continue in our next match in the USA, an all-Premier League encounter against Manchester City in Columbus, Ohio on Saturday, which will be streamed live on the official Chelsea website and app.
