Eduardo completes Chelsea switch
Chelsea have completed the signing of Portugal goalkeeper Eduardo from Dinamo Zagreb, according to sources.
The 33-year-old played in Dinamo’s extra-time victory over Red Bull Salzburg on Wednesday, which secured their place in the Champions League group stage.
Afterwards he bid farewell to Dinamo’s fans in an interview on the club’s official website – though he did not confirm Chelsea as being his next destination.
“At the same time I am happy and sad,” Eduardo said. “This was a beautiful story, but I got a chance to go to a big club. It is the opportunity of lifetime and I think I deserve it.”
The Portugal international was part of the squad that won Euro 2016 this summer but did not play a game, deputising instead for Rui Patricio.
Eduardo will compete with Thibaut Courtois and Asmir Begovic for playing time at Chelsea.
The Blues opted not to re-sign Marco Amelia this summer while youngster Jamal Blackman joined League Two side Wycombe Wanderers on loan last week.
