Chelsea have confirmed the arrival of American goalkeeper Gabriel Slonina from MLS side Chicago Fire.

The 18-year-old has penned a six-year contract at Stamford Bridge but will return back to Chicago on loan before joining up with his new teammates at the start of 2023.

Slonina became Chicago’s youngest ever signing when he joined the club in 2019 at the age of just 14 before becoming the youngest ever goalkeeper to start an MLS match at 17 in 2021.

He has gone on to make 34 appearances for the club and received his first international call-up in December.
