There may be loads of conflicting info on the market about Chelsea’s plans for this summer time, particularly in objective.
Final week we heard some rumours concerning the Blues’ curiosity in Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen. These have been shortly adopted by insider whispers that they have been actually going to stay with their present collection of stoppers.
Now there’s one other wave of rumours connecting the Blues with the 22 yr outdated. are this week completely reporting that the staff suppose he has “the traits to be a superb match for what they need.”
There can be competitors – Manchester United are already trying to improve on Andre Onana, and are “considering” whether or not to rival the Blues for the Belgian. Chelsea have had Robert Sanchez, Filip Jorgensen and Djordje Petrovic all take a flip as first alternative goalkeeper within the final 12 months alone, so it’s no shock these hyperlinks are hanging round.
– however he’s barely performed any senior video games but and is way off being prepared to start out for us.
Chelsea unlikely to sanction “appreciable” sum on one more goalkeeper
We’re much more inclined to consider the membership briefs that they’re – these sporting administrators purchased Sanchez, Petrovic, Jorgensen and Penders, they usually’re clearly backing their very own judgment that a minimum of considered one of them will change into good.
Verbruggen does look good, and can possible entice much more consideration sooner or later if he continues to carry out nicely for Brighton within the coming seasons. However because the GMS piece says, the Seagulls would demand “a substantial sum” for him already, and given how a lot we’ve spent on goalkeepers, we are able to’t think about one other addition can be sanctioned.
If we’re having this identical nightmare this time subsequent yr, issues may very well be completely different…
