Chelsea have offered former Sweden goalkeeper Magnus Hedman a contract until the end of the season.
"We've an agreement," the 33-year-old Hedman told Swedish television channel TV4's website.
Hedman, a former Celtic and Coventry City goalkeeper, has been working as a pundit for TV4 since retiring in 2005.
With Petr Cech out for some time after fracturing his skull, Chelsea will use Hedman to provide cover for Carlo Cudicini and Henrique Hilario.
Czech international Cech had two metal plates inserted into his head after fracturing his skull in a league win at Reading last month and is not expected to return to training until late January.
Previous third-choice Hilario has deputised for Cech and Cudicini, who was also knocked unconscious at Reading but returned for Chelsea's League Cup win over Aston Villa.
According to TV4's website Hedman is on his way to London to sign the contract
