The West London club continues their hunt for a new goalkeeper, as regards Chelsea news live. Of course, they would want to replace Kepa Arrizabalaga.
Robert Sánchez is already making waves at Chelsea. However, he hasn’t kept any clean sheets in the Premier League this season, given his all-around statistics.
At least, he conceded one goal against Liverpool, and three against West Ham United. Therefore, Mauricio Pochettino is unlikely to trust him.
Apparently, Kepa Arrizabalaga joined Real Madrid on loan. However, the Spanish goalkeeper doesn’t want to come back to Stamford Bridge next campaign.
As a result, the West London club cannot rely on only Robert Sánchez. Also, Gabriel Slonina has left the club to join a Belgian club on loan this summer transfer window.
Sánchez has been in the Premier League for many years at Brighton Albion. Therefore, he understands the league better than anyone, but the Blues want a new goalkeeper.
Regarding Chelsea news live, the club has many goalies on their radar this season. And they are willing a secure on before the summer transfer window shuts down.
Chelsea are confident of signing Djordje Petrovic of New England Revolution before September 1st. They want him at Stamford Bridge before the transfer window closes.
The West London club are most likely to be very active this week. Because the summer transfer window will shut down next Friday in Europe’s top-5 leagues.
Reportedly, the Blues have already held talks with the 23-year-old goalkeeper. However, he desires to play as the No.1 goalie, rather than sitting on the bench.
Of course, Chelsea wants someone who can compete with Robert Sánchez. And they chose Djordje Petrovic of New England Revolution, as per Chelsea news live.
The Serbian goalie is linked with many clubs in the Premier League. The likes of Manchester United, Arsenal, and Tottenham are heavily interested in him.
However, since Kepa Arrizabalaga has left the West London club. They are reportedly leading the race to get his signature before the summer transfer window shuts down.
In all fairness, Djordje Petrovic is making waves in Major League Soccer for New England Revolution. He’s literally one of the best goalies in the league.
The 23-year-old Serbian goalie has many things in common with Thibaut Courtois of Real Madrid. His shot-stopping ability is second to none in MLS.
Obviously, he has the ability to establish himself in the Premier League, particularly at Chelsea. Which is actually good for the Blues family.
Robert Sánchez has been given the No.1 shirt at Chelsea. However, Djordje Petrovic is most likely to start ahead of him this season, if he actually arrives at Stamford Bridge.
Still on Chelsea news live, the West London club will be busy this week. They are reportedly wanting to sign a new attacker, to balance their defense line.
Apparently, Christopher Nkunku is unavailable as a result of an injury. Also, Carney Chukwuemeka sustained a knee injury against West Ham on Sunday.
Despite the fact that Djordje Petrovic is close to joining the West London club, as per Chelsea news live. They are still focused on a new offensive player.
