Chelsea seem to be happy with their summer signing Robert Sanchez right now.

According to a report from football.london, Robert Sanchez has impressed many at Chelsea following his arrival from Brighton & Hove Albion in the summer and could be given the rest of the season to prove himself.

The Blues have been strongly linked with Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale, but it now looks like they will put their trust in Sanchez until at least the end of the season.

They signed him from Brighton in a deal worth £25m, as reported by BBC Sport.

Sanchez has started all 12 of Chelsea’s Premier League games this term and made an excellent save against Manchester City striker Erling Haaland last time out, which resulted in praise from Mark Schwarzer.

Chelsea should give Robert Sanchez more time to prove himself

Chelsea only signed Sanchez in the last transfer window. Considering that, it would be ridiculous to try and replace him before the end of the season.

Perhaps one or two people at the club have doubts about the 25-year-old. He is not at that world-class level yet and made a costly mistake when the Blues met Arsenal last month.

However, Sanchez has done a good job overall and certainly enough for him to get the rest of the campaign.

His save percentage right now is more than respectable. According to FBref, it is currently 72.5%, the sixth highest in the Premier League.

All in all, there is no reason for Chelsea to be thinking about replacing Sanchez. There is not even a truly world-class goalkeeper currently on the market anyway.

At the end of the season, they can re-evaluate everything. But as for now, they really do not need to be looking at replacing Sanchez, who has made a good start to life at Stamford Bridge.
