“I Know a Lot of Chelsea Supporters have been demanding the club sign a new goalkeeper, because they are not totally convinced by Robert Sanchez or Filip Jorgensen.

“But they do have a lot of goalkeepers on their books – they’ve djordje Petrovic, who’s been on loan at Strasbourg, and Mike Penders from Genk who Stayed There On Loan Too.

“He’s been described as the new Thibaut Courtois, and they’ve Still Got kepa who’s been on loan at Bournemouth.

“That Would Be Six Goalkeepers – There’s no luck chelsea Go Into Next Season with Six Goalkeepers of That Caliber On Their Books. If and when Maignan Comes in, you’d think?

“But it would be a really good signing for chelsea, a lot of fans aren’t happy with the no 1 situation and they are used to having world-class goalkeepers like petr cech and courteois.

“This Would Be a Stament Signing, and What Would Really Please Chelsea Supporters is that he’s not young, he’s not developing, he’s not someone who’s Spent Time at the Manchester City Academy. He’s someone Who Has Proved Himself at Lille, Won is the France no 1. “
