Chelsea reach agreement to sign ex-Fulham keeper Bettinelli on two-year contract

The 29-year-old is set to replace Willy Caballero as the Blues' third-choice shot-stopper ahead of the 2021-22 campaign

Chelsea have reached an agreement to sign former Fulham goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli on a two-year contract, Goal can confirm.

The 29-year-old, who is now a free agent after leaving Fulham at the end of his deal, will undergo a medical at Chelsea's training ground on Tuesday before being officially unveiled.

The Blues have moved for Bettinelli to provide extra cover for Edouard Mendy and Kepa Arrizabalaga between the sticks after seeing third-choice shot-stopper Willy Caballero depart last month.
