Reports have claimed that Chelsea are keen on signing Southampton goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu.
According to GiveMeSport, the Blues are still determining what kind of ‘keeper they are looking to sign at the end of the season.
The Republic of Ireland international joined the Saints at the start of this season from city rivals Portsmouth.
A product of the Manchester City academy, Bazunu has quickly emerged as a starter for the Premier League outfit. He has played every minute this season for the side at the foot of the table.
Despite their poor performances, he has hardly been at fault for the results which have left them languishing where they are.
GiveMeSport have claimed that Bazunu is one of the goalkeepers the clubs are considering, with Porto’s Diogo Costa another name on the shortlist.
Chelsea want Bazunu
It has been claimed that the Blues want another goalkeeper despite having both Kepa Arrizabalaga and Edouard Mendy on their books.
It has been claimed that Graham Potter is hopeful that the club will strengthen between the sticks for next season.
Mendy losing his place as the starter at Stamford Bridge has reportedly left him considering his future at the club.
It’s been an extraordinary change of fortunes for the Senegal international in the past 18 months, when he was at the time celebrating being named the best goalkeeper in Europe.
His distribution has always been something which has held him back in his Chelsea career, and this skill has been mentioned when talking about potential future goalkeepers.
The likes of David Raya and Robert Sanchez have proven to be names the club are interested in, and they are both players who excel at starting attacks from the back.
With how the defenders at the club like to play, this would likely be an ideal skill.
