Chelsea have completed a deal for goalkeeper Willy Caballero.

The Argentine was a free agent after leaving Manchester City and has penned a contract at Stamford Bridge.

He will provide back-up for No.1 Thibaut Courtois following Asmir Begovic's move to Bournemouth.

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."

He becomes Antonio Conte's first signing of the summer with many more new faces expected.

The Blues are in talks over a £30million move for Germany defender Antonio Rudiger from Roma.

Deals for Tiemoue Bakayoko and Alex Sandro are also close, with the left-back set for a record £60million switch.

Attention will likely turn to Romelu Lukaku now, with Diego Costa reportedly on the brink of joining Atletico Madrid.

Chelsea have also agreed terms with Exeter youngster Ethan Ampadu but must settle on a compensation fee with the League Two side.
