Chelsea
have agreed a deal to sign goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli on a free transfer
following his release by Fulham.
Bettinelli will undergo a medical in London on Tuesday ahead of signing a
two-year deal with Chelsea.
The 29-year-old is available after leaving Fulham following the expiration
of his contract at the end of last season.
He will provide cover for Edouard Mendy and Kepa Arrizabalaga at Stamford
Bridge and replaces Willy Caballero, who was released this summer.
Bettinelli spent the 2020/21 campaign on loan at Middlesbrough, making 42
appearances as they finished 10th in the Championship.
He is set to become Chelsea's first signing since they became European
champions for a second time in May.
