Chelsea Football Club are reportedly on the lookout for a new goalkeeper, as they prepare for the potential departure of Edouard Mendy. According to recent reports, the club has been keeping a close eye on Borussia Dortmund’s Gregor Kobel.
Kobel, a 25-year-old Swiss international, has been in impressive form this season for the German outfit, earning rave reviews for his shot-stopping abilities and composure under pressure. His performances have not gone unnoticed, with a number of top European clubs reportedly interested in securing his services.
Chelsea, who have had their fair share of goalkeeping woes in recent years, are believed to be keen to bring in a top-class keeper to bolster their options between the sticks. Mendy, who arrived at the club last summer, has been a solid performer, but with interest from other clubs, it remains to be seen if he will stay at Stamford Bridge beyond this season.
Kobel, who joined Dortmund from Stuttgart last year, has impressed with his ability to command his area and make crucial saves at important moments. His performances have helped Dortmund to challenge for a top-four finish in the Bundesliga this season, and he has also been a key figure in their run to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
