DONE DEAL: Bergstrom pens Chelsea deal; joins IF Brommapojkarna

IF Brommapojkarna have signed Chelsea goalkeeper Lucas Bergstrom.

The Finland U21 goalkeeper joins from Chelsea on-loan for the entire season. Chelsea have announced Bergström has extended his contract to 2025.

"We are bringing in a big and strong goalkeeper who owns his penalty area," says Brommapojkarna sporting director Philip Berglund to the club's website.

"He has plenty of experience and played an international match for Finland as recently as January."

Bergström also said: "It feels great and I'm excited.

"The team moved up to the Allsvenskan before last season, I know that young players get the chance here at the same time as we play attractive football. I was happy when the interest came from BP.

"I haven't played in the Allsvenksan before but I want us to rise in the table and we go into every game to win. I will stop the balls but we will win the games. I will help the team and do my best for us to succeed."
