Confirmed : Chelsea confirm first summer signing and fill vacant squad spot Thomas Tuchel needed
Chelsea have confirmed the signing
of free agent goalkeeper Marcus
Bettinelli to fill their vacant third
goalkeeper spot.
The former Fulham stopper has put
pen to paper on a two-year deal to
join the Blues having spent over a
decade just down the road at Craven
Cottage, making 120 appearances.
Former third choice stopper at Stamford
Bridge, Willy Caballero, left the club
at the expiration of his contract following
Chelsea and their Champions League
success against Man City back in May.
Bettinelli will compete with Edouard
Mendy and Kepa Arrizabalaga for
the number one spot at Stamford Bridge
. Mendy is the current occuiper and
firmly established in that position,
with Spanish keeper Kepa as the
number two.
Speaking of his move to Stamford
Bridge, Bettinelli said: "'It’s always
been a special club. I know the area
very well so it’s been a dream of
mine to come over to this side and
it’s finally happened.
"There were some talks a few years
ago when I was a bit younger and
for whatever reason that didn’t come
about but I’m here now.
