Chelsea 'agree deal' for Polish keeper

Chelsea beat off Barcelona to the signing of 16-year-old, 6'5" goalkeeper Marcin Bulka.

Chelsea have agreed a deal to sign in-demand young Polish goalkeeper Marcin Bulka from Barcelona feeder school FCB Escola.

At 16 years old, Bulka is already 6'5" in height and had been on the Blues' radar following an impressive trial at Cobham in April.

Bulka had been in line for a move across to the Barcelona setup but instead opted to sign for Chelsea after goalkeeping coach Henrique Hilario pushed through the transfer.

Chelsea have yet to announce the deal, although Escola confirmed on their website that an agreement has been reached between the two parties.

Bulka is now expected to go out on loan or be sent straight into Chelsea's youth academy.
