Chelsea have been looking to bolster their goalkeeping options since Edouard Mendy joined Saudi Pro League side Al Ahli in June.
Chelsea are looking to revive their fortunes under new manager Mauricio Pochettino after coming 12th in the Premier League last season — their worst finish since 1994.
“Robert has repeatedly proved himself in the Premier League and been capped by his country,” Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart, Chelsea’s co-sporting directors, said in a statement.
“We are excited to watch him work with Mauricio and his coaching team during the season ahead.”
