Chelsea do have a bit of a goalkeeper situation that they need to look at this summer, with Robert Sanchez now seemingly once again losing his number one spot at the club, and not for the first time either in his Blues career. Liam Rosenior is looking like he might prefer to use Filip Jorgensen as his number one keeper, to play his style of football better than Sanchez.

Chelsea are accelerating their “concrete” interest in Robin Roefs, sources have apparently told Football Insider.
They say Chelsea’s recruitment team are prioritising the signing of a new goalkeeper this summer who is capable of becoming the new number one.
We will have to wait and see what happens with this one, because the apparent price being spoken about is £50m, which seems quite high if Chelsea are to add another goalkeeper this summer. They would surely have to sell one of or both of Sanchez and Jorgensen, as they also have Mike Penders as well at Strasbourg who is very highly rated.
