Robert Sanchez and Filip Jorgensen are Chelsea’s first and second-choice goalkeepers, but that could change next season.
Chelsea have been linked with Caoimhin Kelleher and other shot-stoppers, but there is no guarantee that they sign the Liverpool player or another No.1.
In fact, it is now being reported that the Blues are not planning to bring in a new goalkeeper this summer.
However, there is still a possibility of Sanchez and Jorgensen being replaced, with Djordje Petrovic and Mike Penders seen as potential options for Chelsea’s first team next season. With that in mind, The Chelsea Chronicle has ranked all four goalkeepers.

Penders is still just 19 years of age and has only made 17 senior appearances. It is why he comes in at fourth.
However, according to The Telegraph, Chelsea will still give the Belgian and Petrovic the opportunity to prove themselves ahead of next season.
As a result, the same outlet claims that Chelsea currently have no plans to sign a new shot-stopper.

Had Penders been older and played some more games at senior level, he would be above Sanchez in this list.

The Spaniard has made way too many mistakes this season. He has not been a reliable goalkeeper at all.
Sanchez made another bad error against Arsenal just before the international break. It was the eighth that he has made in the current Premier League campaign that has led to a shot.

Jorgensen has not convinced in the Premier League either. It was his mistake against Aston Villa last month that cost his side a point.
However, the former Villarreal man has put in some good performances in the Conference League. Given the amount of chances Sanchez has had, you can argue that Jorgensen deserves a few more.

Petrovic should never have been loaned out last summer. He did a respectable job between the sticks at Chelsea last season and has shown his quality at Strasbourg this term.
Chelsea fans want to see Petrovic return, and that is hardly a surprise. He is the best goalkeeper at the club at the moment.
