Overview
- Chelsea are evaluating a summer deal reported at up to £60m for Sunderland’s Robin Roefs, with Liverpool and Manchester City also monitoring the 23-year-old and no formal bid disclosed.
- Roefs has eight Premier League clean sheets this season and ranks third for save percentage at about 72%, pointing to a potential upgrade in goal.
- The Dutch keeper is under contract until 2030, and Sunderland are expected to consider sizeable bids after recent investment, which could keep the fee high.
- Robert Sanchez and Filip Jorgensen have not secured the starting job for Chelsea, with errors and uneven form prompting the search for a new first-choice goalkeeper.
- Chelsea will also assess promoting 20-year-old loanee Mike Penders from Strasbourg, with a call expected in pre-season as budgets and wider squad priorities are set.
