Chelsea reportedly do not intend on bringing in another new goalkeeper in the January transfer window, despite questions being raised about Robert Sanchez. The Spaniard was signed from Brighton over the summer but failed to impress with several shaky displays.<\/p>\n

The Blues splashed the cash over the summer, taking Todd Boehly\u2019s total spending to over \u00a31 billion since he arrived at Stamford Bridge. Significant fees were forked out on the likes of Moises Caicedo, Cole Palmer and Romeo Lavia in the hope of building a strong core in midfield.<\/p>\n

Chelsea were also forked to reshuffle their goalkeeping department after Edouard Mendy left the club to join Al Ahli. Sanchez was signed from Brighton for approximately \u00a325milliion, with Djordje Petrovic also brought in from New England as an alternative option between the sticks \u2013 which allowed Kepa Arrizabalaga to leave on loan.<\/p>\n

Sanchez has started every game for Chelsea since joining the club, though questions have been raised about his ability and reports have suggested that Mauricio Pochettino could push for a new No 1 to be pursued in January.<\/p>\n

However, The Athletic report that Chelsea are, in fact, happy with their two goalkeeper options and are unlikely to pursue a third shot-stopper for \u2018the time being\u2019 as they have the utmost confidence in their current duo.<\/p>\n

It remains to be seen whether the faith in Sanchez is repaid, with Pochettino publicly praising the former Brighton star and explaining that the 25-year-old will continue to improve. Speaking earlier this month, the ex-Tottenham boss said: \u201cI\u2019m really happy with his (Sanchez\u2019s) attitude and commitment. He is going to be great. He only arrived at the last moment, the other keeper went to Madrid, he played in two or three training sessions and then straight in.<\/p>\n
