‘Keep an eye on Newcastle’ – Toon hold talks with agent as Chelsea eye two more targets

According to journalist Ben Jacobs, Newcastle have held talks with the agent of Villareal goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen, but Chelsea are also keen on the Dane and fellow Toon target Giorgi Mamardashvili.

Valencia’s Mamardashvili has been heavily linked in recent weeks, while Jorgensen is the latest name to emerge in our search for a young goalkeeper to compete with Nick Pope now Martin Dubravka is expected to follow Loris Karius out of the exit door this summer.

However, it’s becoming a theme to see Chelsea target players on our radar, with the Blues attempting to hijack our move for Tosin Adarabioyo this week and also being ‘admirers’ of Burnley’s James Trafford; another name linked to Newcastle.

Our interest in Mamardashvili is well documented, but Jacobs reports that Newcastle are one to ‘keep an eye on’ when it comes to Jorgensen – the 22-year-old who has enjoyed a breakthrough season over in Spain – and reveals that we’ve already spoken to the player’s agent.

It seems that Chelsea are taking a keen interest in Newcastle’s summer plans having also been recently linked to Tosin Adarabioyo, but hopefully for the Magpies they’ll come away empty handed.

Understand Chelsea are exploring a new goalkeeper for this summer. It’s become more of a priority position because of the kind of profile Enzo Maresca’s system requires.
