Posh Secure Loan Signing Of Chelsea Goalkeeper
18 Jun 2022
Peterborough United have bolstered their goalkeeping ranks ahead of the
2022-2023 campaign with the signing of highly-rated Chelsea goalkeeper
Lucas Bergstrom on a season-long loan deal.
The Finnish goalkeeper was part of Chelsea's Premier League 25-man squad
last season as the fourth choice shot-stopper at Stamford Bridge and has
just completed a spell away on international duty with his country, named
in the under 21 squad for European Qualifiers against Austria, Azerbaijan
and Norway.
Standing at 6ft 7, the 19-year-old signed for Chelsea from Turun
Palloseura in his native Finland during the 2018/19 season and has been a
regular within the Academy squads at Stamford Bridge. Posh boss Grant
McCann was pleased to secure his services and was thankful to the Premier
League side for allowing the move to happen.
“Lucas is very highly-rated at Chelsea. He is commanding, a very good
shot-stopper and extremely aggressive from crosses and good with his feet.
I must give huge thanks to Carlo Cudicini and Chelsea for trusting us in
developing Lucas further and we can't wait to work with him,”McCann said.
Bergstrom will link-up with his new team-mates on the 22nd June when the
Posh squad return for pre-season testing. There will be an interview with
Bergstrom on his arrival at the idverde Training Ground.
