Find replacements for Kepa Arrizabalaga, Chelsea are eyeing Andre Onana and Dean Henderson

DBasia.news – It seems that Chelsea hasn’t stopped bringing in new players to Stamford Bridge to play the Premiere League 2020-2021 season.

After officially recruiting Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech, plus the potential recruitment of Kai Havertz, Thiago Silva, Chelsea are reportedly trying to bring in a new goalkeeper.

Goalkeeper from Spain, Kepa Arrizabalaga, only recorded eight clean sheets in 33 appearances on the Premiere League stage last season.

Kepa’s less convincing appearance last season finally made Chelsea coach Frank Lampard intend to bring in a new goalkeeper as part of an effort to improve the quality of the Blues via the recruitment of new players.

As reported by the Evening Standard, two names of goalkeepers have entered Chelsea’s radar, namely Ajax Amsterdam goalkeeper Andre Onana and Manchester United goalkeeper who last season was loaned to Sheffield United, Dean Henderson.

” Chelsea intends to bring in a world-class goalkeeper as a potential replacement for Kepa Arrizabalaga. In addition, the presence of this goalkeeper is expected to increase competition in the struggle for the main position between the Chelsea crossbar. Lampard is reportedly impressed by Onana and Henderson’s performance, ” wrote the Evening Standard report, Wednesday (26/8).

Two goalkeepers are considered more realistic to be able to bring in Chelsea in the transfer

In addition to the high transfer value, reaching 50 million euros, Chelsea will certainly find it difficult to sign Oblak because the player chooses to stay at Atletico Madrid.

Between the two goalkeeper names, it seems easier for Chelsea to sign Onana. Because th goalkeeper from Cameroon had expressed his desire to leave Die Godenzonen once the 2019/2020 season ended.

Ajax Amsterdam is also willing to let go of the 24-year-old goalkeeper if there is a club that can provide a transfer value of up to 40 million euros.

Meanwhile, for Henderson, Manchester United are reportedly planning to bring the England goalkeeper back to Old Trafford Stadium. Henderson is expected to provide competition to David De Gea in the position of United’s main goalkeeper.

United’s plan is inseparable from Henderson’s impressive performance during his loan spell at Sheffield United in the last two seasons.
