Chelsea are poised to add their eighth goalkeeper, having agreed on a £17m deal with Genk for Mike Penders.

The 19-year-old is set to sign a long-term contract with Chelsea and will likely return to Genk on loan for the upcoming season.

Chelsea recently signed Filip Jorgensen from Villarreal for £20.7m and currently have seven goalkeepers, including last season's top choice Robert Sanchez and Kepa Arrizabalaga, who has returned from a loan at Real Madrid.

Penders made his senior debut in July, becoming the third-youngest goalkeeper in Belgian Pro League history. 
Standing at 6ft 7in, the Belgium Under-19 player will be Chelsea's 10th summer signing, pushing their spending beyond £150m. 

Atletico Madrid striker Samu Omorodion is also expected to join soon for £34.5m.
