    Bournemouth sign Petrovic from Chelsea

    Bournemouth have completed the £25m signing of Chelsea goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic.

    The Serb, who joined Chelsea from New England Revolution in a £14m deal in 2023, spent last season on loan at French club Strasbourg.

    The 25-year-old was named player of the season as Strasbourg secured a Europa Conference League spot by finishing seventh in Ligue 1.

    Petrovic is Bournemouth’s third signing of the summer and joins on a five-year contract.

    “I came to Bournemouth because I want to grow and I want to play at the best level,” said Petrovic.

    “Together with this club, with these facilities, I think we can achieve it. I want to help the team get the results, improve every day and be a better player.”

    Petrovic, who has seven Serbia caps, made 23 Premier League appearances for Chelsea across two seasons.

    He is likely to become Bournemouth’s first-choice goalkeeper after Kepa Arrizabalaga returned to Chelsea.

    The Spaniard spent last season on loan with the Cherries, before joining Arsenal in a £5m deal this month.
