Crystal Palace interested in signing Chelsea star

Crystal Palace have shown an interest in signing goalkeeper Asmir Begovic from Chelsea, according to a report from Matt Law of The Telegraph.

Palace already have three goalkeepers; Wayne Hennessey, Julian Speroni and Alex McCarthy, but Law says that the Eagles would be interested in signing Begovic if Chelsea decide to let him go.

Thibaut Courtois is apparently keen on making a move from Stamford Bridge to Real Madrid and if he does, then Begovic would happily stay as the club’s number one, however, if the Belgian stays at Chelsea, then the 28-year-old will seek a move away.

If Palace do pursue a deal to sign the Bosnia and Herzegovina ‘keeper, they’d likely let at least one, and maybe two, of their current goalkeepers leave the club.

Begovic is a highly rated goalkeeper and a lot of people were surprised when he chose to join Chelsea as a backup goalkeeper when he left Stoke at the start of the season.
