Goalkeeper Gaga Slonina has waved goodbye to the United States and former club Chicago Fire ahead of his move to Chelsea of London, following the end of the Major League Soccer season.
Slonina, 18, was signed by former Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel in a £12million summer deal with Fire, but was allowed to remain on-loan in America to finish the season.
The teenager is expected to return to Chelsea’s Cobham training ground in the course of the week after saying goodbye to his teammates and posting a farewell message to Fire fans on social media.
Chicago, thank you for the all the memories. Although it may seem over, I’ll forever keep Fire in my heart ❤️🔥 @ChicagoFire https://t.co/7Riam1M1yn
He will meet up with his new colleagues and be given a first opportunity to impress Blues boss Graham Potter ahead of upcoming fixtures against Aston Villa, and Brentford.
Slonina made 32 appearances during the 2021/22 MLS campaign with Chicago Fire as they endured a torrid campaign, finishing 12th in a 14-man table and conceding 48 goals in the process.
