The Portugal international, a member of their Euro
2016-winning squad, signs a one-year deal at
Stamford Bridge and will cover Thibaut Courtois and
Asmir Begovic
Chelsea have completed the signing of goalkeeper Eduardo from
Dinamo Zagreb.
Eduardo, who was a member of Portugal's squad as they won Euro
2016 in France, has signed a one-year contract at Stamford
Bridge, and is set to provide cover for Thibaut Courtois and Asmir
Begovic.
The goalkeeper has won 35 caps for his country, and made a total
of 98 appearances for Dinamo.
"Having the opportunity to come to the Premier League and to
Chelsea, to such a big club, it is an easy decision to make," he 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."
Eduardo is Chelsea's third signing of the summer, following the
acquisitions of Michy Batshuayi and N'Golo Kante from Marseille
and Leicester City respectively.
