Kepa Arrizabalaga is eligible to play against Huddersfield on Saturday after completing his record move to Chelsea.
The goalkeeper arrives as the clubs record signing and the most expensive stopper in world football.
Kepa replaces the departed Thibaut Courtois and will immediately take over the No.1 jerysey at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea kick off their competitive season this weekend at Huddersfield and the Blues hinted the 23-year-old would go straight into the team.
A statement read: Kepa, who is eligible to play in Saturdays Premier League opener against Huddersfield, will train with his new team-mates for the first time tomorrow.
Kepa arrives in a £71.8million deal after Chelsea paid the Spaniards release clause in his Athletic Bilbao contract.
Chelsea are unlikely to make any more signings before the transfer deadline passes on Thursday.

Kepa signed a seven-year contract and reacted to his quick switch to London.
Its a very important decision for me, for my career, and also for my personal life, he said.
So many things attracted me to the club, all the titles the club has won, the other players, the city, the English Premier League. Its an accumulation of things, and I am very glad Chelsea has decided to trust me and to take me in as well.
