Reports have claimed that Chelsea goalkeeper Lucas Bergstrom is still set to leave Chelsea in the coming days.

According to the Evening Standard, the youngster is set to be leaving on loan after this transfer window comes to a close tonight.

Bergstrom had been deputising for the number one at Stamford Bridge for the majority of this season, with the Blues allowing a number of their options to leave this summer.

Previous first team choices Edouard Mendy and Kepa Arrizabalaga have both depart ed the club, with the latter joining Real Madrid on loan.

In exchange for those two, the Blues have brought in Robert Sanchez from Brighton, who has been the number one for all three Premier League games.

They have now added to that signing with the addition of Djordje Petrovic, who brings big promise with him from the MLS.

With those two coming in, the path for young goalkeepers at the club suddenly looks a lot more difficult to the first team.

This perhaps explains why Bergstrom is still expected to leave on loan, even if it does happen after tonight’s deadline.

This means he will be joining a team outside of the top flight, where minutes are likely to be far more achievable.
