Chelsea is reportedly considering two English international goalkeepers for the upcoming summer transfer window. Initially, Mauricio Pochettino’s squad depended on Spaniard Robert Sanchez after Kepa Arrizabalaga’s temporary move to Real Madrid. However, Sanchez’s knee injury in December opened the door for summer signing Djordje Petrovic to step up. Petrovic has been the starting goalkeeper in Chelsea’s last 19 Premier League matches, helping secure five clean sheets and strengthening the team’s recent performances. His most recent shutout occurred during Sunday’s five-goal victory against West Ham United at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea planning to sign an England goalkeeper this summer?
The primary target is reportedly Aaron Ramsdale, whose future at Arsenal is uncertain after David Raya’s loan arrival from Brentford last summer. Raya swiftly assumed the role of first-choice goalkeeper at the Emirates, relegating Ramsdale to just six Premier League appearances this season. With Raya poised to make his loan move permanent this summer, it’s expected that the 25-year-old Ramsdale will seek new opportunities elsewhere. His last appearance for Arsenal was during a league match against Brentford on March 9, a game in which Raya, on loan to Brentford, was ineligible to play against his parent club.
