Chelsea agree deal for physically imposing 6ft 4in star, debut date revealed

Chelsea keeper Jamal Blackman has joined a Swedish club on loan for the rest of the season.

The highly rated Chelsea youngster has fallen further down the pecking order since the arrival of Stoke keeper Asmir Begovic, Italian keeper Marco Amelia and will, therefore, go out on loan to play regular first team football and continue his development.

The Chelsea keeper was a key part of the side that won the 2012 FA Youth Cup and the U-21 league title two years later. Blackman has been at Chelsea since for around a decade now.

Blackman is a local lad and is under contract at Chelsea until 2019.
