Mallorca is about to strengthen its goalkeeping with the addition of a promising goalkeeper from Chelsea. Lucas Bergström, a 22-year-old Finnish international, will join the Balearic team as a free agent after finishing his spell at the London club. The deal, already closed, will be official in the next few hours, thus culminating the agreement between the young goalkeeper and the Mallorca entity.

Lucas Bergström, new signing for Mallorca

Trained in the TPS academy, Bergström made his way to English football in 2019 when he was recruited by Chelsea for their youth categories. At Stamford Bridge, he stood out for his stature—surpassing two meters in height—and his ability to dominate aerial play. Although he didn't debut with the first team, he gained experience in English football through a loan spell at Peterborough United, where he played several matches in the League One.

Bergström's arrival at Mallorca is in line with the club's strategy of rejuvenating its squad and increasing competition in goal. The sports management sees him as a goalkeeper for the future, with room for growth and an ideal physical profile for LaLiga. While initially starting as second choice, it is not ruled out that he could compete for minutes throughout the season, especially if he shows strength in training and during preseason.

The Nordic goalkeeper joins the list of young talents aiming to establish themselves in Spanish football after developing in foreign leagues. His cost-free signing represents a low-risk investment with high-performance potential. If he quickly adapts to the pace and demands of Spanish football, Bergström could become a valuable asset for Jagoba Arrasate's scheme.
