JAKARTA - The position of Kepa Arrizabalaga and Edouard Mendy at Chelsea is under threat. The Blues management is reportedly considering bringing in a new main goalkeeper.
The January transfer market will be very busy for Chelsea. Graham Potter's manager has planned a number of transfers with strikers as a top priority.
However, Potter, who has the support of the boss, Todd Boehly, is considering strengthening the other line. One of them is the goalkeeper sector.
After taking over Chelsea from Thomas Tuchel, Potter prefers Kepa Arrizabalaga. However, ahead of the 2022 World Cup break, he was sidelined due to injury and Edouard Mendy had another chance. Kepa has actually shown better performance under Potter. However, it is still not considered to be at the level Chelsea needed to compete at the Premier League peak and European competition.
Most likely Chelsea will release Kepa and Mendy to save on expenses. For Kepa, Chelsea may have to fight hard to sell it because it has a high price tag and salary.
It was not stated who the players Chelsea were targeting. However, if Kepa and Mendy leave, the Blues still have Marcus Bettinelli and Gabriel Slonina at the goalkeeper's post.
Apart from goalkeepers, Chelsea will also strengthen midfield and front lines. They are targeting British and Borussia Dortmund star Jude Bellingham, as well as RB Leipzig forward Christopher Nkunku.
The Portuguese striker who is now defending AC Milan, Rafael Leao, is also on target.
