Chelsea are reportedly eyeing two big-name goalkeepers as potential transfer targets this summer in Everton's Jordan Pickford and Atletico Madrid stopper Jan Oblak.
That's according to a report from Spanish outlet Todo Fichajes, who say Blues manager Mauricio Pochettino is already looking to replace the unsatisfying Robert Sanchez after one season at Stamford Bridge.
Sanchez joined Chelsea from Brighton last summer and initially looked like he could be a really promising player for the west London giants, but it hasn't turned out that way and it's perhaps not too surprising that Pochettino wants that position to be looked at again.
Pickford and Oblak could be better for Sanchez, based on what we've seen of them at their current clubs, so this looks like an interesting story to keep an eye on in the coming weeks and months.
The Chelsea goalkeeper position has had some famous names, but who is next Cech or Cotois?
Chelsea's best teams over the years have often been built on the solid foundations of a good defense, and, often, there is a truly world-class goalkeeper who could be considered the best in the world in his position most of the time. the blues.
Petr Cech is the best example, but Thibaut Courtois was also a worthy successor. Even before the era of Roman Abramovich, Carlo Cudicini was one of the top goalkeepers in the Premier League, and, later on, Edouard Mendy played very well to help CFC win the Champions League in 2021.
Sanchez doesn't look like he's in the same league as any of these names, but in fairness it won't be easy for Chelsea to find someone at that level, and it's debatable whether Pickford or Oblak could really do the job.
