Chelsea have completed their third signing of the summer as goalkeeper Asmir Begovic joins from Stoke City. The Bosnia-Herzegovina stopper has signed a four-year-deal at Stamford Bridge.
The 28-year-old has signed for a reported fee of £8m after establishing himself as one of the Premier League's most reliable goalkeepers since moving to the Britania Stadium from Portsmouth in 2010.
