UpFollowing the departures of Edouard Mendy and Kepa Arrizabalaga, New England Revolution goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic will face Robert Sanchez in a competition;Deivid Washington, 18, has completed his £17.1 million transfer fromSantos to Chelsea; Blueswillspend £14 million for aSerbian player.
Chelsea have signed forward Deivid Washington from Santos for £17.1m (€20m) on a seven-year deal.
The 18-year-old Brazilian will either join Mauricio Pochettino’s first team squad this season or move on loan to play regular first-team football, the club will now decide.
Djordje Petrovic, the Blues’ goalkeeper, is anticipated to undergo a physical in the ensuing 24 to 48 hours.
Chelsea and Petrovic have reached an agreement on personal terms, and Chelsea will pay New England Revolution somewhere about £14 million for Petrovic, including performance-related add-ons.
Following Kepa Arrizabalaga’s loan move to Real Madrid and Edouard Mendy’s departure to Al Ahli, Petrovic will be Chelsea’s second significant goalkeeper acquisition this summer after Robert Sanchez signed from Brighton in a £25 million deal.
In 22 MLS games this season, the 23-year-old has been a notable performer for the New England Revolution, recording seven clean sheets.
You may say that Chelsea has performed admirably in these two contests. They both performed well in my opinion against West Ham and Liverpool, respectively.
But when you spend that much money, it does seem odd that so few of us think Chelsea will finish in the top four. However, that does not guarantee that it won’t. However, few people predict that squad, with that much money invested in it, will place in the top four. For that sum of money, I don’t think that is appropriate.
Despite the fact that I have been
Even though they have really pleased me in those two games, I still believe they need a goalie even if they recently acquired Robert Sanchez. I’m not talking about challenging Manchester City here; I’m talking about winning the league. Because Thiago Silva is 38, I continue to believe that they need a top center-half.
