“Certainly a name on their list” – Scout confirms Chelsea’s interest in Premier League man | OneFootball

A scout has confirmed Chelsea’s interest in one 22-year-old Premier League player after some links came out earlier this week.

Chelsea have been in a bad run of form, and the goalkeepers at the club have often been pointed at as one of the main issues. Thankfully, Filip Jorgensen wasn’t needed in Chelsea’s last game, a big win against Southampton.

The Blues won the game 4-0 in what was a much needed convincing performance, with goals coming from Christopher Nkunku, Pedro Neto, Levi Colwill, and Marc Cucurella.

EXCLUSIVE! The Goalkeeper Chelsea were very close to signing over Robert Sanchez – fans would have much preferred this!

The Saints were a very poor opposition of course, but Chelsea really needed a big win and a big performance, and that is exactly what they did last night right in the nick of time as they look to keep challenging for that all important Champions League spot.

Neto was superb playing as the number 9 and as well as getting his goal, he has explained why he loves playing as a striker with a hilarious answer!

But the goalkeeper area is something the club really need to address and look at, and I believe they will.

Brighton are set to demand a “massive” fee to sell goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen this summer amid growing interest from Chelsea.

That is according to former Man United and Blackburn chief scout Mick Brown, who remains very well-connected within the game, according to Football Insider.

“Brighton will want a massive fee to let him leave,” he told the publication.

“If Chelsea come in for him, I’d expect that price tag to go higher because we’ve seen they’re willing to pay over the odds for players in the past.

“A new goalkeeper is something they’ve been looking at, and Verbruggen is certainly a name on their list.

“He’ll be one of their key targets because of his Premier League and international experience.

“But for those same reasons, Brighton are going to be reluctant to let him go.

“He’s been an important part of their side this season and he’s only young, so they see him as being their number one for years to come.

“If Chelsea want him, and I expect they do, it’s going to take a big offer to tempt Brighton into selling.“
