It was announced last August the young goalkeeper would join Chelsea at the end of the 2024/25 season after seeing out the campaign with Genk.

Penders has now been given a squad number with the Blues following the completion of that move, and will wear No.39 on the back of his shirt for Chelsea.

The 19-year-old made 26 appearances for Genk last season, keeping seven clean sheets as they finished nine points clear at the top of the table in the Belgian top flight, before coming third in the play-offs to qualify for the UEFA Europa League.
