\"Chelsea<\/p>

Roefs to the Blues?<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

\nChelsea are expected to enter the transfer market for a marquee goalkeeper at the end of the campaign.
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

\nRobert Sanchez<\/span><\/span> has been the Blues’ first-choice between the sticks, but he has been error-prone on several occasions.<\/p>\n

The club have not contemplated a change over the past year, but that is expected to happen later this summer.<\/p>\n

It is claimed that Sunderland shot-stopper Robin Roefs<\/span><\/span> is high on the club’s shortlist to become the number one.<\/p>\n

The Black Cats only signed the Dutchman last summer for\u00a0\u00a312 million, and he has been key to their fantastic league run.<\/p>\n

Roefs had made several vital saves throughout the season, and he could pursue a bigger challenge this summer.<\/p>\n

Sunderland are unlikely to block his departure to an elite club, but they won’t entertain less than\u00a0\u00a350 million.<\/p>\n

Hence, Chelsea will have to spend a premium fee to land the highly-rated shot-stopper from the Wearside outfit.<\/p>\n

Tottenham Hotspur have also been linked with his services.
