Sanchez has been out of favour at Brighton but it looks like Chelsea are willing to take a risk on the Spanish stopper on merit that he was very good in the sticks at Brighton before his drop off last season, a drop off that saw him drop down the pecking order with The Seaguls.
Chelsea want competition for Kepa Arrizabalaga, and seemingly they believe Sanchez can be the man to do just that this season and beyond.
Let’s hope it proves to be a good call!

Structure analysis oriented, road construction oriented here I have work as iT student, being scout to start work after my IT completion with the company but I choose to go and complete my HND program at Fedpoly owerri batch b graduate year 2013/14 at Endo State.

Wow. This has obviously been rumored for days now, but this a move that really lacks ambition. The brightest spin I can put on it is to believe that they didn’t go out for a top drawer choice like an Onana because they really believe in Slonina’s potential to mature rapidly. Otherwise, it’s just hard to understand why we would settle for Brighton’s leavings. Now we have what appear to be two entirely average (at best) keepers. 🙁
