The 28 year old is the second summer signing for the Blues, who also signed Radamel Falcao on a season long loan earlier this month.
Begovic will take the number 1 shirt at Chelsea and Courtois will keep his number 13.
Mourinho is keen to address his side’s champions league failings from last term and will now press ahead with the pursuit of Pedro, from Barcelona.
