Chelsea have confirmed the signing of Asmir Begovic from Stoke City in a statement on their official website, revealing that the stopper will join on a four-year deal.
"I am very happy to be joining Chelsea FC. After speaking at length to the manager, I feel like I can develop here and be an important part of this team. I am looking forward to meeting up with the team on Wednesday for the pre-season tour."
Begovic will be given the vacant number 1 jersey, formerly inhabited by the departed Petr Cech, with Thibaut Courtois keeping his number 13 shirt. The fee hasn't been announced, but is thought to be in the region of £8m
