Bournemouth sign Petrovic for £25m - were Chelsea right to cash in?

Bournemouth have completed the £25m signing of Chelsea goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic on a five-year deal.

The Serb, who joined Chelsea from New England Revolution in a £14m deal in 2023, spent last season on loan at French club Strasbourg.

The 25-year-old was named player of the season as Strasbourg secured a Europa Conference League spot by finishing seventh in Ligue 1.

Despite claiming the Chelsea number one spot under Mauricio Pochettino, Petrovic - who made 23 appearances during the 2023-24 season - was sent on loan to France last summer because of concerns about his ability to play out from the back.
