New Chelsea signing thanks club legend for his part in the move

Chelsea have made a few good signings already this summer as Todd Boehly looks to fully back Thomas Tuchel in the market.

Some of them will be going straight into the first team, and others will be coming in as players for the future.

Sources: Chelsea pushing to sign Frenkie De Jong!

The latter can be said about former Chicago Fire goalkeeper Gabriel Slonina, who was signed by Chelsea this week but is staying on loan in Chicago.

The Blues believe they have signed a top keeper for the future, and Slonina has been in London this week having a look around and signing the contract etc before heading back to the US to complete his season there in the MLS.

It appears that once again, we have Chelsea legend Petr Cech to thank for the Slonina signing, and it looks like he played a big part in this deal, as he did with Edouard Mendy.

As you can see below, Slonina name drops Cech and thanks him…
