Chelsea are making a big error by handing the No.1 shirt to Robert Sanchez rather than strengthening between the sticks in the transfer window
The Blues are making a big error by handing the No.1 shirt to the Spain international rather than strengthening between the sticks
Robert Sanchez has fallen upwards in a manner that even he surely couldn't have imagined. The Spaniard slipped toin Brighton's goalkeeping pecking order this summer, having lost the faith of manager Roberto De Zerbi in March. Fast-forward five months, however, and he finds himself as Chelsea's main man between the sticks.
On the south coast, increasing errors, De Zerbi's preference for veteran Luke Steele and Sanchez's own petulance saw him become a pariah, as he eventually demanded to be excluded from matchday squads altogether at the backend of 2022-23.his compatriot's surprise loan move to Real Madrid has opened the door to Sanchez - who has quite literally taken the No.1 shirt. It has been reported that the west Londoners will stick with him as their starting goalkeeper, too, with just £20 million set aside for a new second choice.In truth, while he was improved last season, Chelsea shouldn't have been entering the new campaign with even Kepa as first choice.
Having Brighton's third choice as No.1 simply isn't good enough for a club of the Blues' stature, and it's a decision that could well come back to haunt them. Indeed, Sanchez ranked 19th out of Premier League goalkeepers in shot-stopping last season, with a post-shot xG minus goals allowedew head coach Mauricio Pochettino has intimated that the club is open to all eventualities when it comes to a new goalkeeper.
