Competition is a good thing, both in business and sports. But what Chelsea Football Club is doing is somewhat bizarre and unprecedented. At the moment, they have as many as seven goalkeepers under contract and don’t plan on stopping there.Last year, Robert Sanchez arrived from Brighton with the idea of being the first choice. After great performances with New England in the Major League Soccer (MLS), Djordje Petrovic was brought in as his backup, and the two of them pushed through a season that was quite disappointing for the Blues. And now, all of a sudden, neither of them is apparently eligible to stand between the sticks in the upcoming Premier League season. So, they bought another one – Filip Jorgensen.Jorgensen already in training with other Chelsea keepers in America. pic.twitter.com/vQoMs9u7Du— iChelseaTweets (@iChelseaTweets) July 31, 2024 Moreover, they are accompanied by Gabriel Slonina, Marcus Bettinelli, Lucas Bergstrom, and, believe it or not, Kepa Arrizabalaga.Since the American took over the club, Chelsea has spent a total of €61,5m on goalkeepers alone!As we all know, there’s a place for just one custodian in the squad. Chelsea diving deep to find a new custodianIt’s difficult to comprehend what Chelsea’s boss, Enzo Maresca, plans to do with so many shot-stoppers, and we’ll probably see some departures in weeks to come. If not, we’ll be witnessing the most awkward setup in the Premier League’s history, as there will be more keepers than defenders among the Blues.##NAJAVA_MECA_8242111##
