While Chelsea are considering investing in the attack during the summer, the Blues have done well to secure the signing of Hakim Ziyech from Ajax.
However, one thing the Blues must do is to get the goalkeeping situation solved. Chelsea paid a world record fee for a goalkeeper to sign Kepa Arrizabalaga just two years ago, but the Spain international has so far failed to justify his hefty fee.
However, we could argue that the 25-year-old still has age on his side to develop into a top goalkeeper, Chelsea manager Frank Lampard do not have time on his side.
We all know for sure how important it is to have a world-class goalkeeper, and every title winning side always have a good keeper between the sticks. A classic example is the Champions League second round second leg tie between Liverpool and Atletico Madrid. Atletico goalie Jan Oblak saved the day for the Spanish side, and Liverpool should have won the match had Alisson been in goal, as Adrian literally gave the game away after his side had gone up 2-0 and were minutes away from going through to the next round.
Oblak has a release clause of over £100m, and Spanish outlet AS claim that the 27-year-old will be a dream signing for Chelsea, with the Blues desperate for his signature.
After his superb performance against Liverpool, Graeme Souness urged Chelsea to sign the goalkeeper.
He said: “Do we know how old he is? [27] There you go, Chelsea!
“Chelsea are looking for a goalkeeper. He’s been a top man for a long time.”
