Chelsea are likely to take a shot at signee surprise on their next target, that is, the Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher. The Republic of Ireland international has struggled to break into Liverpool’s first team ahead of Alisson but he has always demonstrated his skills whenever he is called upon to start for Liverpool due to the former’s unavailability.
In the past, Chelsea has had options at goal with which to work, but latest reports suggest that the club is very much interested in Kelleher’s services. The young keeper who has also been linked with a move to two of Serie A giants Juventus and Napoli is said to be adamant to stick it in the English Premier League as per to the latest stories produced by the Sun paper.
It might be for this reason, that Liverpool has set the price at about £35 million to ensure that they do not sell the 25-year-old to a direct competitor. Chelsea insider Enzo Maresca has handed central selection to Robert Sanchez this season, but fans have witnessed some lapses in his play since joining the club’s Stamford Bridge team.
Goalkeepers have always been a strong suit of Chelsea with the likes of the Petr Cech and Thibaut Courtois gracing the club at different stages of the club’s most successful period. However, Sanchez is not in the same bracket yet, causing some to wonder whether the answer is Kelleher – who has been brilliant for Liverpool.
Moreover, there is another player in the Blues’ team that the team can count on though he recently joined the team and has not played a stunning match yet, – it is Filip Jorgensen. Considering the somewhat unpredictable nature of the current ownership in terms of the transfer policies of the club, fans should expect a even more chinky changes.
