Chelsea ready to sign Mendy replacement

Chelsea are interested in signing another Premier League goalkeeper according to an exclusive report out today.

The Blues have obviously only recently signed one Premier League goalkeeper in the shape of Robert Sanchez from Brighton, but they are seemingly keeping their ear to the ground for other opportunities that come up, and there could be one that comes up soon.

The exclusive is on my own personal Chelsea website, Si Phillips Talks Chelsea, and it is written by reliable journalist Ben Jacobs in his regular Chelsea column that he does for us.

We are of course talking about Arsenal’s Aaron Ramsdale, who has now found himself to be battling with David Raya for the number one spot there, hence why there could be an opportunity coming up.

Jacobs isn’t too sure that Arsenal will entertain any offers though and manager Mikel Arteta is certainly not keen on letting Ramsdale go.

“It’s true there will be plenty of clubs keeping an eye on [Aaron Ramsdale’s] situation, Chelsea included. Ramsdale wants to play to try and push Jordan Pickford for England’s Euro 2024 starting spot in goal. And he can’t do that from the bench. But as of now Chelsea haven’t made any kind of serious move. Plus, Mikel Arteta really wants to keep Ramsdale, so a mid-season switch is going to be tough. It could only happen if Ramsdale really pushes.”
