Former Blues star Jody Morris has opened up on the possible arrival of a new goalkeeper at Chelsea this January transfer window, as reports continue to link the club with some of the games biggest stoppers.
Robert Sanchez is the clubs current number one and a man that the board had big hopes for, but he has made a few errors and his ball-playing skills are not at the standard that Liam Rosenior would hope for, which has led to speculation suggesting that CHELSEA could be in the hunt for a new first-choice goalkeeper, as an upgrade on Spanish shot-stopper Robert Sanchez is sought.
AC Milan custodian Mike Maignan is said to be of interest to the Blues, as he heads towards free agency, but Morris believes that Todd Boehly and Co missed a trick when allowing domestic rivals Manchester City to sign Gianluigi Donnarumma from Paris Saint-Germain.
Morris added on the keeper gossip: “I’m not necessarily of the belief CHELSEA should do everything to try and get Mike Maignan. Now when Donnarumma became available in the summer, that was someone I think they should have gone and got.
“Robert Sanchez has been a lot better this season. Does that mean he’s the next goalkeeper to take you through to the next three or four years, if you want to get to the next level? I’m not sure.
But, if we are looking to change Robert Sanchez, I would hope it’s someone that’s going to be clearly better than Sanchez rather than just competing with him.
“Sanchez has really been dominating his box from crosses to free kicks. He’s been outstanding at collecting balls and getting our attacks started quickly.
If Maignan is the one to replace Sanchez he better be levels above because Donnarumma is a world class keeper who sets levels and can take a team to another place.”
