Chelsea are set to welcome Djordje Petrovic to the club as he undergoes a medical on Thursday. The £14 million deal was agreed upon earlier this week, paving the way for the New England Revolution goalkeeper to join the Blues. In addition to Petrovic, Chelsea is also expected to confirm the signing of Deivid Washington from Santos.
The timing of Petrovic’s transfer is yet to be determined, but Chelsea has been in need of a new goalkeeper since Kepa Arrizabalaga’s loan move to Real Madrid. The club recently acquired Robert Sanchez from Brighton, who has already started in both of Chelsea’s Premier League matches this season. Petrovic, who has two caps for Serbia, has two years remaining on his contract with New England Revolution, where he took over as the club’s first-choice keeper following Matt Turner’s departure to Arsenal.
Chelsea’s transfer activity is not expected to end with Petrovic and Washington. The club is reportedly pursuing other targets before the transfer window closes. One of these targets is Folarin Balogun from Arsenal, although the £50 million price tag is proving to be a hurdle. Meanwhile, Romelu Lukaku continues to train with Chelsea’s U21 team amidst speculation about his future, with Inter Milan having previously made a £30 million offer for the striker.
Overall, Chelsea’s summer transfer window is shaping up to be an exciting one, with new additions expected to bolster the team’s squad ahead of the upcoming season.
