Former Chelsea forward, Joe Cole, has identified the perfect goalkeeper to replace Robert Sanchez at Stamford Bridge.
He believes that Nottingham Forest goalkeeper, Matz Sels would be a good signing for the Blues.
According to him, the Belgian goalkeeper looks very ‘assured’ between the sticks, something that Chelsea appear to be lacking this season.
Sels moved to Nottingham Forest from Strasbourg for a reported £5 million in February 2024.
He has gone on to keep 11 clean sheets in 27 league appearances this season, leading the race for the Premier League Golden Glove.
For Chelsea, they have rotated their goal-keeping spot between Sanchez and Filip Jorgensen this season.
The two goalkeepers have made multiple errors that have left the administration and fans frustrated.
The Blues are set to add 19-year-old goalkeeper Mike Penders to their squad in July but Cole is of the opinion that the experience of Sels is the way to go.
On the Dressing Room podcast, the 43-year-old said, “Do you know who I think is one of the best goalkeepers in the league at the moment? Sels from Forest. Mate, I’m telling you. Watch him play.
“Assured, makes saves… I don’t know whether he’s having a golden period in his time but they are out there. You’ve just got to pick the right one.”
