Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino has heaped praise on young goalkeeper Gabriel Slonina after watching the stopper in action during the Blues’ tour of America.

According to Pochettino, the 19 year old goalkeeper can become one of the best goalkeepers in the world.

Pochettino said: “I think he is a young player that came from Chicago, of course I need to see more because he met us here on the tour, similar to Lesley.

“We need more time to discover how they are and of course, if the club sign it’s because they believe in him and that he is a great talent and we need to decide if it is better to continue with us or what is the best way for him to grow and be one of the greatest keepers in the world.”
