Chicago Fire goalkeeper Gaga Slonina is relishing the 'pressure' of the Premier League with MLS club already eliminated from playoffs... as Chelsea's $15m signing looks forward to working with Graham Potter

The Chicago Fire are already eliminated from the MLS Cup Playoffs. With that the case can anyone blame keeper Gaga Slonina for already looking forward to his jump across the pond?

Having already agreed to a move with Chelsea set to take place once the season ends, Slonina will be leaving his home state of Illinois for a bigger and tougher league.

The Blues spent a reported $15 million to bring the goalkeeper to London in one of the most expensive moves for a MLS academy product ever.

Slonina joins Chelsea in January of 2023, but to hear it from him, it can't come soon enough.
