Multiple sources have revealed that
Chelsea
Have managed to sign 19 year old young goalkeeper
Penders
and plans to loan him back to the Belgian club immediately
Hunke
. This maneuver shows Chelsea's determination to continue investing in the future in the goalkeeper position.
Chelsea now have as many as six goalkeepers in their first team:
Benistelem, town in northwest Hungary, one of the indigenous peoples of Taiwan
21 years old, contract expires in 2025.
Bertinelli (name)
32 years old, contract expires in 2026.
kappa (Greek letter Κκ)
29 years old, contract expires in 2025.
Robert Sanchez
26 years old, contract expires in 2030.
Petrovic (name)
24 years old, contract expires in 2030.
Jorgensen (name)
22 years old, contract expires in 2031.
This shows that Chelsea have a wealth of squad options in the goalkeeping position, covering seasoned veterans as well as young players full of potential. While the introduction of Pendles means that Chelsea continue to stockpile future goalkeeping talent, his immediate loan move back to Henk was a logical decision given the current staffing levels.
On loan, Pendles will gain valuable match experience at Henk, while Chelsea will continue to keep a close eye on his development.
