Chelsea are set for a major summer transfer window. They are set to sign new players in almost all parts of the pitch. As far as goalkeeper position is concerned, they have taken a big decision ahead of summer window.
Currently, the Blues have Robert Sanchez as the first choice keeper. The Spaniard has failed to impress the club. He has made a lot of errors that have costed the West London club important points. The fans are not happy with Sanchez are are asking to replace him.
Sanchez has Filip Jorgensen as his backup. But, Jorgensen is still 22 years old and lacks experience. Hence, a new keeper signing is expected by the fans. Sanchez may be sold in summer but Jorgensen can stay considering his age.
