Chelsea have been linked with players like Gregor Kobel and Caoimhin Kelleher in recent months amid rumours they want another goalkeeper.
According to a report by Give Me Sport, Chelsea are not planning to sign a goalkeeper right now amid their links with Gregor Kobel and Caoimhin Kelleher. It remains to be seen whether they decide to revisit the idea at the end of the season.
The Blues were expected to sign a quality goalkeeper in January, but it seems that they are focusing on the other areas of their squad. Chelsea have enjoyed an impressive season so far, and they are second in the Premier League table.
The West Londoners will be hoping to push for the league title and perhaps go all the way this season. They need the right additions in January to sustain these levels of performances and they should look to invest in a quality striker and a central defender. While there is no doubt that they need a quality goalkeeper as well, it could wait until the end of the season.
Kobel and Kelleher would be quality options
Gregor Kobel has proven himself in the Bundesliga, and he would have been a quality addition for Chelsea. It will be interesting to see if the Blues decide to make a move for him in the near future.
As for Kelleher, he has helped Liverpool win trophies with heroic performances in the domestic competitions. He has proven himself to be a more than capable backup for Alisson Becker, and the Republic of Ireland international has been linked with an exit from the club.
The Liverpool cup hero needs to play regularly at this stage of his career, and a move to Chelsea could be quite exciting for him. There is no doubt that he could give Robert Sanchez a run for his money and push him for the starting spot. Both players would be quality additions for Chelsea in the near future, and it remains to be seen whether they have any plans to pursue the goalkeepers in 2025.
It will be interesting to see if Chelsea can plug the gaps in their squad during the January transfer window and launch a serious challenge for the league title. With Arsenal and Manchester City faltering, this is a golden opportunity for the Blues to push Liverpool and go all the way.
