“It’s sad that he spent such little time with us but this has to be done. He’s not just a good fit for our team and he has to be replaced” – Chelsea is reportedly in the final stages of replacing for one of their huge summer signings, identifying a position of vulnerability that manager Mauricio Pochettino aims to address in the upcoming January transfer window.

Chelsea is set to pursue a new goalkeeper in the January transfer window, with manager Mauricio Pochettino pinpointing this position as a vulnerability in the team.

Despite the £25 million signing of Robert Sanchez from Brighton during the summer, the Spanish goalkeeper’s performances have not met expectations, prompting Pochettino’s desire to strengthen the goalkeeping department.

Serbia international Djordje Petrovic, acquired during the summer transfer window, is expected to step in during Sanchez’s absence.

Nevertheless, Chelsea is actively pursuing a new primary goalkeeper, with plans already in place before Sanchez’s injury.

The decision reflects Pochettino’s acknowledgment that Sanchez may not meet the standards required for the number one position at a prominent club like Chelsea.

The specific goalkeeper to be brought in will be disclosed in the upcoming January transfer window.
