With the transfer window open, it was just a matter of time for Chelsea to make a move regarding their goalkeepers. While all eyes were set on the possible departure of Petr Cech, it was Mark Schwarzer who went ahead and signed for Leicester City on a permanent deal until June 2016.

Earlier this week, Jose Mourinho thanked the Australian for his commitment with the team, stating he will be missed not only for the player he is, but more for the team-mate and friend he was.

As a goalkeeper, when we needed Schwarzer, he was there for us, and as a person and a professional he was an amazing guy in our group. On behalf of myself, my staff and my players I want to say we are going to miss the big guy and we wish him all the best in his new life at Leicester," Mourinho said.

Schwarzer played 12 games for Chelsea last season, including a substitute appearance in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final against Atletico Madrid. He played against Liverpool during that memorable victory against Liverpool at Anfield Road.

On the other hand, the Foxes greeted their new signing while informing their fans of Schwarzer's resume.

"Mark, 42, joins the Foxes on a free transfer from Chelsea and brings a wealth of top-flight experience to the Foxes squad. The Australian international stopper has made over 500 Barclays Premier League appearances for Middlesbrough, Fulham and the Blues over 18 years and is part of an elite goalkeepers’ club, alongside Petr Cech and David James, to have kept 150 Premier League clean sheets," can be read on the team's website.
