Crystal Palace open talks for outgoing Chelsea goalkeeper as 19-year-old eyed on free transfer

Campbell, who has spent a decade at Chelsea since joining the club as a nine-year-old, is all set to exit Stamford Bridge this summer. The goalkeeper's existing deal expires at the end of this month, after which he will move out, as confirmed by the player.

Last week, the teenager took to Instagram to confirm his departure as he wrote: "Dear Chelsea Football Club, After ten incredible years, it is time for us to part ways. Thank you, everyone for the love, memories, and support over the years, it won’t be forgotten."

The Mirror reports that Crystal Palace have made contact with the youngster as they are looking for a goalkeeper for their reserve squad, following the departure of Louie Moulden. The report further adds that Championship side QPR have also approached the custodian.

Campbell spent the first half of the 2024-25 campaign on loan at Isthmian League Premier Division side Hendon, but he was recalled in January of this year. He appeared in a couple of Chelsea's Premier League 2 matches and also featured in the club's 2-0 loss to Burnley U21 side in the Premier League Cup quarter-final.

The Blues were linked with a move for AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan earlier this summer, but Sky Sports have now claimed that the club are no longer interested in the French international as they have full faith in their current crop of shot-stoppers.
