Chelsea have strenghthend their goalkeeping ranks by signing free agent Marcus Bettinelli on a two-year contract.
The 29-year-old will provide competition for No 1 Edouard Mendy and back-up Kepa Arrizabalaga after the Blues released Willy Caballero following the end of his contract.
Sportsmail revealed Bettinelli, who will add to Chelsea's home-grown talent, was set to sign for Thomas Tuchel's side after turning down advances from Aston Villa.
Bettinelli left Fulham after his contract expired in June. The 'keeper spent last season on loan at Middlesbrough, where he played a key role for Neil Warnock’s team as they fell short of securing a play-off spot.
