Chelsea FC announce the signing of goalkeeper Willy Caballero on a free transfer

Chelsea have just announced the signing of Agentine Willy Caballero on a free transfer as a number two shot-stopper 

The experienced 35-year-old Argentine will strengthen their squad after former second choice Asmir Begovic left for Bournemouth


Speaking to Chelsea's official club website, he said:

I am very happy to join Chelsea, the champions of England.

I am looking forward to meeting the guys and helping the club achieve more success in the coming season. 

During his time in Manchester Caballero won the 2016 League Cup final against Liverpool after his heroics, including three penalty saves during the shoot-out, helped City lift the trophy.

Technical director Michael Emenalo added: 

We are very happy to have Willy on board. He knows the Premier League and is tried and tested at the top of the game. 

We have three experienced goalkeepers and we look forward to welcoming him to the club when the squad returns to pre-season training.

The Argentine featured regularly towards the end of the campaign, including in City's 2-1 defeat at Stamford Bridge. On that night he saved an Eden Hazard  penalty, only for the Belgian to tap home the rebound for what proved to be the winning goal
