Done Deal: Fabrizio Romano confirms another big Chelsea transfer deal this week

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has confirmed another big done Chelsea transfer deal for this summer over night.

Chelsea are in an incredible spot right now after winning The Club World Cup on Sunday night, and you’d suspect we will see an aftermath of this in many situations.

EXCLUSIVE! Chelsea still planning to buy in end of window surge!

Former player turned pundit Alan Shearer is already tipping Chelsea to be Premier League challengers next season after the Club World Cup triumph.

And Blues co-owner Todd Boehly has been speaking to the media this week and has thanked Chelsea fans for sticking with him along the way (although not sure they have all entirely done that).

The reactions have been huge, and Chelsea will now get busy in the transfer market.

Goalkeeper Mike Penders is joining Strasbourg on loan from Chelsea this season as expected, with Romano putting the latest out on that on his X account late last night.

He says:

“Mike Penders deal, done and set to be sealed as Chelsea goalkeeper will join Strasbourg on loan.

“Agreement in place for next season while Chelsea see Penders as top talent for the future.”

Big future ahead

It’s very clear that Penders has a big future ahead of him and is highly rated not just by Chelsea, but by everyone in the footballing world.

I think this move to play in Ligue 1 as Strasbourg number one next season is going to be a very smart move for him. He needs to gain solid experience and develop as a regular number one in a big league and he will get to do that here.

Penders has been compared to Thibaut Courtois and you can certainly see why.
