Mauricio Pochettino could recruit Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili to his ranks at Chelsea after it was reported the London club sent scouts to watch the 22-year-old.
Part of the Blues' woes throughout last campaign were caused by the goalkeeping position. First, Edouard Mendy failed to live up to the standards he had set during his previous two seasons with the club before picking up an injury which forced Kepa Arrizabalaga back into the fold.
Mendy was handed an opportunity to re-establish himself by Frank Lampard late in the campaign against Nottingham Forest with his first start since the World Cup, though squandered it by rushing out to miss a cross, allowing Taiwo Awoniyi to head in the opener.
