Dinamo Zagreb goalkeeper Eduardo is expected to join Chelsea.

The 33-year-old's manager confirmed last week Eduardo will leave Zagreb for Stamford Bridge, where he is expected to be back-up behind Thibaut Courtois and Asmir Begovic.

"At the same time I am happy and sad," he told Dinamo's official website. "This was a beautiful story, but I got a chance to go to a big club. It is the opportunity of lifetime and I think I deserve it.

"I am leaving Dinamo with the club qualified for the Champions League and I am thrilled with that success. I hope people will remember me in Zagreb as a person that always gave his best for the club and the fans and that everyone will keep a nice memory of me.

"I sure will have great memory of Dinamo and Zagreb and all people I played and worked with here."
