Chelsea has signed Djordje Petrovic from the New England Revolution for Major League Soccer, as confirmed on the club’s website.
The 23-year-old was deemed one of the best goalkeepers in MLS last season.
He has gained popularity in the USA, earning nominations for “newcomer of the year” and “goalkeeper of the year” after his debut season.
“It is a big step for me, and signing with one of the biggest clubs in the world has always been a dream of mine.” Today, I accomplished my goal, and I am overjoyed.
“I am excited to play in the Premier League and hope to learn a lot here at Chelsea.” “I am looking forward to meeting everyone and playing at Stamford Bridge.”

“Djordje strengthens an already strong goalkeeping unit.” We are forward to see him work with Mauricio Pochettino, Toni Jimenez, and the rest of the first-team staff this season.”
The player is expected to serve as a backup to Robert Sanchez, despite his higher cost and Premier League experience.
