SHOCKER

The 38-year-old has been convinced to delay his retirement plans by Maurizio Sarri

Rob Green is set to sign for Chelsea in a stunning move.

The 38-year-old, who spent last season on the bench at Huddersfield Town, is heading back to London to provide cover at Stamford Bridge.

The former West Ham United and Queens Park Rangers shot-stopper was considering hanging up his gloves.

According to The Sun, after receiving a call from the Blues, the offer proved too good to run down.

Eduardo and Jamal Blackman have headed out on loan so he will purely be used as cover for Thibaut Courtois and Willy Caballero.

The 2018 World Cup Golden Glove winner is set to remain as No.1 at Stamford Bridge, despite reports suggesting a move to Real Madrid could be on the cards.


Green began his career with Norwich City and made over 200 appearances for the Canaries before the Hammers brought him to the capital in 2006.

After impressing in the East End as the club valiantly battled relegation, he was called up to the England squad by Fabio Capello.

At the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, he was picked ahead of David James as the first-choice glovesman, but made an absolutely dreadful mistake to allow Clint Dempsey to equalise during the Three Lions’ first group game.

After six years at Upton Park he moved across London to QPR for a further four seasons.

He left Loftus Road in 2016 to spend a year a Leeds before heading to Huddersfield 12 months ago.
