Chelsea Rule Out Goalkeeper Signings for Next Two Windows, Unlikely to Add Centre-Back in January
Confidence stems from Robert Sanchez's improvement, with loanee Mike Penders impressing at Strasbourg.
Overview
- Sky Sports reports Chelsea will not pursue a goalkeeper in the next two transfer windows and view a January centre-back addition as unnecessary.
- Robert Sanchez is regarded as the established first choice, with Filip Jorgensen still highly rated despite some shaky displays this season.
- Mike Penders is excelling on loan at RC Strasbourg, helping them to a top-three start in Ligue 1 with three clean sheets in six games.
- Chelsea point to depth at centre-back with Trevoh Chalobah, Tosin Adarabioyo, Wesley Fofana, Benoit Badiashile and Josh Acheampong, with Levi Colwill expected back and cover from Jorrel Hato and Reece James.
- The club is working on January exits for Raheem Sterling and Axel Disasi, expects Tyrique George to move, and will keep Marc Guiu after a proposed Sunderland loan was cancelled.
