Chelsea looking to swap Kepa for Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak this summer

Chelsea transfer news: Several goalkeepers been linked with the Blues

Jan Oblak from Atletico Madrid isn’t the only goalkeeper linked to the club. The poor form of Kepa Arrizabalaga, the world’s most expensive goalkeeper after he made the £71 million move two years ago has prompted the club to look at alternative options. Other goalkeeping options that have been suggested by press reports covering Chelsea transfer news have been Ajax keeper Andre Onana and Manchester United loanee Dean Henderson. Cameroon international Onana has been rumoured to be keen on a switch to Stamford Bridge. Another player linked with the club has been Trabzonspor goalkeeper Ugurcan Cakır.

The Ajax goalkeeper is expected to be much cheaper than Jan Oblak or Henderson, with a transfer fee of less than £30 million being rumoured for the player. The chances of getting Dean Henderson on the other hand, are expected to be quite low. The 23-year-old is widely seen as the heir to Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea, and any transfer will likely involve a huge fee.
