Chelsea will complete the signing of Dinamo Zagreb goalkeeper Eduardo, according to his manager Zlatko Kranjcar.

The Portugal international became a European champion this summer with his country as back-up to final hero Rui Patricio and made 44 appearances for his club last season.

Kranjcar revealed the news to reporters and wished the 28-year-old all the best as he prepares to join the Blues.

‘Eduardo has got the big honour to go to a big club such as Chelsea,’ said Kranjcar.

‘Yes, I think he is leaving for Stamford Bridge after the Salzburg game.’

The stopper played in Zagreb Champions League qualifier against RB Salzburg on Tuesday, with the second leg next Wednesday and would be Chelsea’s third signing of the summer.



Eduardo would presumably continue his role as deputy with rumours linking current second choice Blues stopper Asmir Begovic is set to leave the club.

Chelsea opened their Premier League account with a win against West Ham on Monday night as Diego Costa grabbed a late winner to give the Blues a 2-1 victory at Stamford Bridge.
