Chelsea are very heavily linked with a move for new goalkeeper. They are showing interest in Swiss keeper who has been superb in recent seasons.
The star in question here is Gregor Kobel of Borussia Dortmund. He is 27 years old and has been with German giants since the past 4 seasons. Last season, he helped them to reach the Champions League final. This season, he has been one of the few bright lights for Dortmund.
Chelsea showing interest in Gregor Kobel
According to BILD, Chelsea are showing strong interest in Kobel. The report says that their pursuit of the Swiss star is gaining momentum. But, the player is happy at Germany and hence the Blues will need to convince him first.
Dortmund will miss UCL football next season. Hence, many of their key players can be seen leaving the club. The German giants are ready to cash-in on Kobel as well. But, they want £51 million which will make him third highest costing keeper in the history.
Chelsea surely needs a new keeper after the end of this season. Robert Sanchez has failed to impress and it has costed the club on multiple occasions. Hence, the Spaniard can get sold in the summer window.
On the other hand, Filip Jorgensen is still very young. He lacks experience at the top level due to which he can’t be trusted with regular starting position. Lastly, they do have Djordje Petrovic who is on loan, but it is still unclear wheter Maresca views him as first choice keeper.
Along with a new keeper, the club is also keen to bring in some top defenders. As of now, they are set to sign atleast 2 defenders. This suggests that there will be a complete defensive overhaul in the summer window. The transfer activity is likely to get spiked up in coming days.
