Chelsea
are set to reveal the signing of a new goalkeeper Marco Amelia on a free
transfer today, according to Daily Mail.
The
reports revealed earlier today that the former AC Milan goalkeeper has agreed to
sign for the London side and will be unveiled later today.
Chelsea were already in search of a goalkeeper as their first choice keeper Thibaut
Courtois has been out since the start of
the season while the summer signing Asmir Begovic has also suffered the injury recently.
Blues
manager Jose Mourinho believes that the injury to both of them could further end
Chelsea’s season.
The
London side are struggling in the Premier League so far this season. They have
won only two of their eight Premier League games. Currently sitting on 16th spot.
Amelia
who was part of Italy World Cup winning squad in 2006 played for Serie B side club
Perugia last season.
Meanwhile
on the other hand, Chelsea are set to seal a new deal with Brazilian midfielder
Ramires, according to London Evening Standard.
It
is expected that it would be a four year deal with a wage more than £70,000-a-week.
Mourinho
is keen to seal his new deal despite of knowing that he still has two year
left on his current contract.
Italian
side Juventus have been reportedly eyeing for the winter move.
