Chelsea transfer news: Djordje Petrovic is ready for medical treatment and Deivid Washington signs from Santos

Deivid Washington, 18, has completed his move from Santos to Chelsea in a £17.1m deal; New England Revolution goaltender Djordje Petrovic will compete with Robert Sanchez following the departures of Edouard Mendy and Kepa Arrizabalaga; The Blues pay 14 million pounds for the Serbian national team

Chelsea have signed striker Deivid Washington from Santos for £17.1m (€20m) on a seven-year deal.

The club will now decide whether the 18-year-old Brazilian joins Mauricio Pochettino’s first-team squad this season or goes on loan to break into first-team football on a regular basis.

Meanwhile, goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic is expected to undergo a medical with the Blues in the next 24-48 hours.

Chelsea will pay a fee of around £14m, including performance-related surcharges, to New England Revolution for Petrovic and have agreed personal terms with the Serbian international.

Petrovic becomes Chelsea’s second great goalkeeper this summer, after Brighton’s Robert Sanchez signed a £25million deal following Kepa Arrizabalaga’s move to Real Madrid and Edouard Mendy’s move to Al Ahli. The 23-year-old has excelled during the New England Revolution, keeping seven clean sheets in 22 MLS games this season.

Carragher: Chelsea need a goalkeeper

“What you would say about Chelsea is that they really impressed in these two games. I think they played well against Liverpool, I think they played well against West Ham.

“But when you spend so much money it’s strange when not many of us place Chelsea in the top four. That doesn’t mean it won’t happen.” But not many people are saying that with that amount of money spent, the team will finish in the top four. It doesn’t seem fair to me for that amount.

“I feel that even though I was very impressed with them in those two games, if you ask me how many players they need to challenge Manchester City – and I’m not talking about winning the league – I still think they need a team goalkeeper, even though they have just signed Robert Sánchez I still think they need a centre-back because Thiago Silva is 38 years old.

“I don’t think there is an absolute goalscorer. Your goalscorer doesn’t have to be your centre-forward, as Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah plays on the right wing. So it’s not a criticism of Nicolas Jackson, he’s just arrived at the club and I’m impressed with him.

“But when you look at those key positions it still looks like four players need to come in to challenge Manchester City and that doesn’t feel right considering the amount of money they’ve spent.”
