How Chelsea can use 'record-breaking' star to solve major Graham Potter transfer headache

Chelsea could turn their transfer attention to solving their goalkeeping problems in the summer window with both Edouard Mendy and Kepa Arrizabalaga struggling to nail down the No. 1 spot. Currently the gloves are in the possession of the latter as Mendy is out injured with a broken finger, although consistent performances from Kepa have been a rarity.

It should be said the Spaniard must be given credit for his last two displays, with the Blues earning back-to-back Premier League clean sheets against Liverpool and Crystal Palace. Surprisingly, it was the latter fixture where the Spaniard was required more as he made several world class saves to stop the Eagles from finding the back of the net before Kai Havertz scored the winner.

However, some of his displays have come into question with the defeats to Fulham and Manchester City in January somewhat decided by his poor decision-making. Since the dismissal of Thomas Tuchel, Mendy has struggled to reclaim the spot he held under the German, with Potter preferring Kepa when both are available, although that has rarely happened since he became Chelsea boss in September.
