CHELSEA are reportedly interested in signing Wales goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey after he left Crystal Palace.
The Eagles released Hennessey, 34, upon the expiration of his contract this summer.
He spent eight years at the club and made 110 appearances in the Premier League but lost his place in the side to Vicente Guaita.
And now Chelsea are set to make a shock move for the veteran, according to the Express.
Willy Cabellero left Stamford Bridge last month and Thomas Tuchel is keen to add experience to his goalkeeping options.
The Blues boss has Edouard Mendy and Kepa Arrizabalaga at his disposal and it is believed Hennessey would act as the third-choice keeper.
He would fulfil a similar role to the one Rob Green performed when he was at Chelsea for the 2018/19 season.
And Hennessey could become Tuchel’s first signing as Chelsea boss.
The 47-year-old is chasing other options however, and will have been alert to the fact Declan Rice recently rejected two West Ham contract offers.

Also, Erling Haaland reportedly expects a move to Chelsea this summer, while Sergio Ramos is another high profile name linked to the club.
It is possible Hennessey will be the first of many to arrive at Stamford Bridge this summer.
And such arrivals could help the club get over the disappointment of missing out on targets such as Achraf Hakimi and Romelu Lukaku.
