Chelsea are going goalkeeper crazy it seems.
The Blues have the exceptional Edouard Mendy in as number one, the exceptionally expensive Kepa Arrizabalaga as number two, plus Marcus Bettinelli as their English homegrown slot filler.
They’ve been heavily linked with DC United goalkeeper Gabriel Slonina in the last week too, and it seems they’re close to agreeing a fee for the teenager.
But before they complete that deal, they’ve already swooped for another kid – Southampton’s Eddie Beach.
Jacob Steinberg reported that a fee for the Wales youth international is agreed, and that they have won out despite “lots of interest” in the 18 year old.
He will presumably play for the youth team before going out on loan.
As Steinberg puts it – one for the future. If Slonina comes in too, that’s one area we can consider pretty sorted for the years to come, if either of them reach the heights expected of them.
