Chelsea manager Graham Potter personally wants to sign Tottenham Hotspur target and Brighton and Hove Albion goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, according to The Sun.
Chelsea want Tottenham Hotspur target Robert Sanchez
The report has claimed that Chelsea plan to sign a new goalkeeper and have interest in Everton and England international star Jordan Pickford.
The former Premier League and UEFA Champions League winners will reportedly scout Pickford at the 2022 World Cup finals in Qatar.
However, according to the report, Sanchez is Potter’s favourite.
Potter worked with the 25-year-old Spain international goalkeeper when he was the manager of Brighton and Hove Albion.
The Englishman described Sanchez as “fantastic” on Brighton’s official website in March 2021.
However, the Seagulls will want a huge fee.
Interestingly, Sanchez has been linked with Chelsea’s London and Premier League rivals Tottenham as well.
According to TEAMtalk, Spurs are looking at Sanchez as a potential replacement for France international goalkeeper Hugo Lloris.
Transfer battle
In our view, Brighton and Hove Albion will not sell Robert Sanchez in the January transfer window, but anything is possible next summer, especially if Chelsea or Tottenham Hotspur make a big offer.
Brighton are an established club in the Premier League, and the Seagulls will surely not want to sell one of their most important players in the middle of the season.
