Norwich City goalkeeper Tim Krul rejected the chance to sign for Chelsea last summer, opting for a move to the Championship instead.
The former Newcastle shot-stopper was not keen on a move to Stamford Bridge as he did not want to spend his time there on the bench, according to Dutch outlet Voetbal Zone.

Tim Krul moved to Norwich instead of Chelsea
Krul, 31, instead chose to join the Canaries… and it proved to be the correct decision.

They only have to avoid defeat in their final match of the season to guarantee going up as second division champions, ahead of runners-up Sheffield United.
