Chelsea news: Star ‘really happy’ after summer move CONFIRMED by Blues

Goalkeeper Djorde Petrovic has opened up and revealed that he is very happy with his move to Bournemouth after CHELSEA allowed him to depart the club this summer transfer window.

There are a number of players at Stamford Bridge that are probably no longer needed at the club, and that means there will be opportunities for players like Petrovic, who have not made much of an impact at Stamford Bridge.

Newly promoted Sunderland are among the clubs interested in signing the 25-year-old this summer, who was one of the standout performers in Ligue 1 last season during his loan spell with Strasbourg, but the Cherries made their move to get a deal done and now he has left the club

Petrovic also shared his delight at the move: “I’m really happy to be here. I came to Bournemouth because I want to grow and I want to play at the best level.

‘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.”

After signing for the club, AFC Bournemouth’s President of Football Operations, Tiago Pinto, shared his thoughts with afcb.co.uk: “I’m really pleased to bring Djordje to the club.

‘The opportunity to sign a player of his calibre in the market was one we had to take, particularly given how vital the position of a goalkeeper is.

“We have been looking for the right talent to invest in within this area of the pitch and Djordje has very impressive qualities, as well as a lot of experience for someone who is still young. We are excited that he is the one coming to join our project and look forward to working with him.”
