According to football.london, the Blues have reached an agreement with Southampton for Governor Eddie Beach.
The 18-year-old shone on the south coast this season, helping the Saints win the Southern Division of the U18 Premier League.
Rangers appeared in 20 games for Southampton’s Under-18 team in all competitions, receiving 31 points.
football.london reports that numerous clubs are interested in signing the goalkeeper this summer, but Chelsea prevailed.
Beach’s last appearance during the 2021/22 U18 Premier League was against West Londoners, where he led the Saints to a 5-2 win over Ed Brand.
Beach is a Wales under-19 overseas with six caps to his name. He was the first actor to sign on as part of Tuchel’s new version this summer.
Speaking to London football, the Blues boss said: “We are improving, not the team. We are renewing. This is always a challenge, but we are there for the challenge.
“I don’t know where we’re from. What I can promise is that I will be here, if I can promise, I will be here with all the power and positive energy no matter what. We will also work for Chelsea and I refuse to think about negative scenarios. We will be competing, at what level we will see. ”
Meanwhile, Chelsea is rumored to be close to signing another goalkeeper this summer.
According to football.london, the Blues are keen to sign Chicago Fire goalkeeper Gabriel Slonina.
Real Madrid is also interested in the 18-year-old, but it seems that the Blues have won the competition. Slonina has appeared 13 times in MLS this season, including five clean sheets.
His actions have drawn the attention of Chelsea, who are now hoping to sign an American.
The Blues offered a shotgun in February of this year, some deal, but the fines levied on former owner Roman Abramovich are a messy business.
Slonina will almost certainly be on loan next season to gain more first-team experience.
The rise of Beach and Slonina could affect the future of Kepa Arrizabalaga, with the Spanish arousing interest abroad after falling in favor of Tuchel.
