Chelsea announce made – Belgian has agreed move and WILL JOIN Blues
Chelsea Football Club has agreed a deal to sign goalkeeper Mike Penders from KRC Genk and ended months of speculation and rumours about whether or not the Belgian star would make the move to Stamford Bridge.
CHELSEA have been making alot of transfer moves once again this season to sign some of the best talents in the game and Penders is the latest name to be signed by that Blues Board.
the young Belgian only made his debut for Genk towards the back end of last season, but he has impressed so much that Chelsea were ready to pay some big money in order to get a deal done, and then offer the lad a massive contract to sign up too, which is what happened.
Chelsea posted on the club website: ‘Penders, a Belgium Under-19 international, will join Chelsea from next summer after agreeing a contract with the club until 2032.
‘Penders made his senior debut for Genk last month against Standard Liege. He kept a clean sheet and, at 18 years and 363 days, became the third-youngest goalkeeper to debut in the Jupiler Pro League.
‘The 19-year-old followed that with an outing against OH Leuven and will continue his development in the Belgian top flight this season.’

Penders is a great young talent – but at the end of the day he is another player that the club do not need to sign right now – this is another waste of £17 million that could have gone towards a big named signing.
CHELSEA fans are surely wondering what the hell is going on because all these signings will not make much of a difference for the next couple of seasons – Penders will be happy -but it could be the wrong move to make at this stage of his career.
It’s reported that the Blues have agreed a £17million deal for the 19-year-old this month. Penders is one for the future but already carries a stellar reputation, even drawing comparisons to former Chelsea ‘keeper Thibaut Courtois
