Chelsea want Brighton goalkeeper Robert Sanchez and he has agreed to join.

The problem will be the fee and Chelsea´s ongoing talks over a deal for £105million-rated Moises Caicedo.

Sanchez has fallen out of favour with Roberto de Zerbi and wants to get away with Chelsea a perfect opportunity.

Former Brighton goalkeeping coach Ben Roberts is at Chelsea and played a big part in mentoring Sanchez´s development. Indeed, the 6ft 6ins shot-stopper credits his ´mental fortitude´ to Roberts´s influence.

Though born in Spain and capped twice by them, Sanchez counts as homegrown as he has been brought up through Brighton´s academy since the age of 15, and was courted by England prior to his Spain call-up.

That could prove vital with Chelsea´s current recruitment pattern and the fact the likes of Conor Gallagher could still depart.

Chelsea have also been maintaining contact with Southampton over Romeo Lavia and Tino Livramento.

Mauricio Pochettino has confirmed new signing from Rennes, Lesley Ugochukwu, should go on loan to Strasbourg with winger Angelo Gabriel expected to follow.

Regardless of shared ownership rules permit only three loans allowed between clubs.

They still plan to sign striker Elye Wahi from Montpellier with Strasbourg in mind so Chelsea will need to find different temporary, or permanent, homes for a number of the players they are stockpiling.

Impressive midfielder Andrey Santos has interest from eight clubs, home and abroad.

Lyder som David Luiz. Afsindigt risiko-villig type der betragter sit område som "hele banen" og bare konstant vil angribe alt og alle. Der er en grund til, at Luiz kun for alvor virkede i en 3-back, hvor de andre to garderede for ham.

Chelsea have sent formal bid for Robert Sánchez to Brighton. Negotiations are ongoing — told Sánchez has already accepted Chelsea as destination.

Brighton hope for Sánchez to leave this summer. Chelsea and Brighton remain in talks also for Moisés Caicedo.

Ville elske noget konkurrence til Kepa. Det ikke nogen hemmelighed at jeg ikke har den store fidus til ham på sigt. Sanchez virker oplagt, men hvor mon prisen ligger.

Chelsea are now back in talks again with Juventus through intermediaries — swap deal between Romelu Lukaku & Dušan Vlahović has been discussed again.
