Chelsea sign new goalkeeper

 

Chelsea have announced they have signed Eduardo from Dinamo Zagreb on a one-year contract.

 

Eduardo, 33, was part of Portugal’s squad that won Euro 2016 and has been signed as understudy to Thibaut Courtois and Asmir Begovic.

 

“Having the opportunity to come to the Premier League and to Chelsea, to such a big club, it is an easy decision to make,” Eduardo told Chelsea’s official website.

 

“For me this is the best and the most difficult league and it is another level from where I have been until now. So it is a new challenge, at this moment I feel very good, so I am ready for this.

 

“All the colleagues I have always say the dream is to come to the Premier League, where there are the best clubs and the best players, and the opportunity to come here arrived at this moment.

 

“I am happy to be here and I hope I meet the expectations people have for me.”
