Chelsea look set to replace Kepa Arrizabalaga and Edouard Mendy in the summer, with Todd Boehly eager to bolster the club's options between the sticks. Whenever one is given a run of games, the other is heavily linked with an exit from Stamford Bridge – and, with the duo prone to mistakes, the Blues are embroiled in a vicious cycle.
But, the west Londoners appear ready to bring an end to the rotation by signing an outright No.1 in the summer. According to German outlet Bild, Chelsea have shortlisted Gregor Kobel as an 'above-average' candidate to replace Kepa and Mendy.
However, the report states that the 25-year-old 'feels at home' at Borussia Dortmund, where he has a contract until June 2026. Kobel, who is valued at £35.3million by CIES Observatory, has featured 21 times in the Bundesliga this term, registering eight clean sheets.
