Chelsea target Robert Sanchez already has a big admirer among the coaching staff at Stamford Bridge.

That is according to The Athletic.

Brighton goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, who’s just 25, is as a potential transfer target for the Blues this summer.

Apparently, he’s already liked by a member of the Chelsea staff.

The Athletic claims that Chelsea’s goalkeeping coach Ben Roberts massively rates Sanchez.

It is explained that the pair know each other well after working together for several years at Brighton.

The report adds that the 25-year-old shot-stopper would be a cheaper option than alternative goalkeepers targets such as Inter Milan’s Andre Onana and AC Milan’s Mike Maignan.

So, will there be a new No 1 in goal for Chelsea next season?

Gianluca Di Marzio claimed earlier this week that Chelsea are currently holding conversations with Brighton about a possible deal to sign Sanchez.

The ‘amazing’ keeper has good experience in England’s top division, keeping 27 clean sheets in 87 Premier League appearances as a Brighton player.

He did lose his starting position to Jason Steele at the Amex Stadium when Roberto De Zerbi took charge as Brighton’s manager mid-season.

However, he’s still a young goalkeeper with big potential and two senior Spain caps.
