FOOTBALL – Bournemouth have signed keeper Djordje Petrovic from Chelsea on a five-year contract, both Premier League sides announced on Wednesday, with media reports saying the deal was worth 25 million pounds ($33.44m).
The 25-year-old Serbia international’s signing came after Kepa Arrizabalaga, Bournemouth’s first-choice keeper last season on loan from Chelsea, joined Arsenal earlier this month.
Ireland’s Mark Travers, a back-up keeper for Bournemouth, also left for Everton on a four-year deal on Tuesday.
Petrovic made 23 Premier League appearances for Chelsea in 2023-24. He was loaned out to Strasbourg last year, where he was named the player of the season after helping them qualify for the Uefa Conference League’s playoff round with a seventh-place finish in Ligue 1.
