As recently as August, the unequivocal message coming out of Stamford Bridge was that Chelsea had their three goalkeepers of the future: reinstated No 1 Robert Sanchez, new signing Filip Jorgensen and giant Belgian teenager Mike Penders, who will arrive in west London from Genk in his homeland in the summer of 2025.

Chelsea are not in the market for a new goalkeeper despite Robert Sanchez's recent struggles, though Filip Jorgensen could be handed a chance.

Chelsea are reportedly keeping a close eye on Borussia Dortmund’s Gregor Kobel as they look to strengthen their goalkeeping options, but they’re not the only Premier League club interested.
