Mauricio Pochettino sanctions £52m Chelsea bid for goalkeeper transfer and it's not Andre Onana

A new goalkeeper is one of the wishes on Mauricio Pochettino's Chelsea transfer list and the Blues look to have made their first formal approach to sign one. Kepa Arrizabalaga and Edouard Mendy face uncertain futures and it is possible that both depart the club this summer after mixed spells in west London.

Kepa has been the first-choice option in the 2022/23 season, and while he has pulled off some wonderful moments, there have been many occasions where a lot was left to be desired. Mendy meanwhile has struggled with injuries for much of this campaign with a broken finger resulting in him missing much of 2023.

Frank Lampard handed Mendy his first start in six months when the Blues welcomed Nottingham Forest to Stamford Bridge, but a mistake in that game looks to have spelt the end of his Chelsea career.
