Transfers to Chelsea

June 11, 2025
Penders has completed a transfer to Chelsea from Genk, according to his new club.
ANALYSIS
Pender was set to join Chelsea following the 2024/25 season after his deal was confirmed in August 2024, finally having the deal done Wednesday. He is only 19 years old but did make 26 appearances last season, showing a decent spell of play with Genk. That said, he is still going to be far down the pecking order in net, probably sitting as their fourth-string goalie.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could stay in England
GGenk
April 2, 2025
Petrovic could stay at Chelsea as part of the first-team squad for the 2025-26 season, according to The Telegraph.
ANALYSIS
Chelsea are not currently expecting to sign a new first-team goalkeeper in the summer, and Blues manager Enzo Maresca is willing to see other options first. Penders is one of those options, as the highly-touted goalkeeper is set to join the Blues in the summer from Genk. He's expected to challenge for that spot with Djordje Petrovic, who spent the 2024-25 season on loan at Strasbourg.
