London, Shawwal 7, 1438, Jul 1, 2017, SPA -- Premier League champions Chelsea on Saturday signed goalkeeper Willy Caballero on a free transfer after his contract at Manchester City expired, dpa reported. The 35-year-old will likely be the back-up to Thibault Courtois after former second choice Asmir Begovic was sold to Bournemouth in May. "I am very happy to join Chelsea, the champions of England," he told the club's website. "I am looking forward to meeting the guys and helping the club achieve more success in the coming season." Caballero made 48 appearances after joining City from Malaga in 2014. The highlight of his time at the club came in the 2016 League Cup final when he saved three penalties in a shoot-out win over Liverpool. -- SPA 22:04 LOCAL TIME 19:04 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w438628
