Victor Moses and other Chelsea players will welcome Willy Caballero as their new teammate after the club announced it had acquired the signature of 35-year-old Argentine goalkeeper.

Caballero arrives having been out of contract at Manchester City. “He will add strength to our goalkeeper resources following the departure of Asmir Begovic to Bournemouth,” the club said on its website.

The Argentina International spent the past three seasons at City, having started his career at Boca Juniors before playing for Spanish clubs Elche and Malaga.

Caballero said: ‘I am very happy to join Chelsea, the champions of England. I am looking forward to meeting the guys and helping the club achieve more success in the coming season.’

Michael Emenalo added: ‘We are very happy to have Willy on board. He knows the Premier League and is tried and tested at the top of the game.

‘We have three experienced goalkeepers and we look forward to welcoming him to the club when the squad returns to pre-season training.’
