Chelsea plot swoop for Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper

Areola emerges as fresh goalkeeper target

Chelsea plot swoop for Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper

19 July 2018 - 15:32

Chelsea are reportedly plotting an approach for Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Alphonse Areola with Thibaut Courtois leaning towards a Stamford Bridge exit.

  • Gary Neville breaks silence on Ruben Amorim
  • Confirmed Chelsea line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Brentford, Estevao absent



  • Courtois has been heavily tipped for a move to Real Madrid since the close of the World Cup and reports have recently suggested that a deal worth £31m has been finalised between the sides for the proposed transfer.

    As such, the Blues have been associated with a number of shot-stoppers including former number one Petr Cech and Paris United claims that Areola is the latest keeper on their radar.

    The 25-year-old was Les Parisiens' first-choice goalkeeper over the course of the 2017/18 campaign but his future has been put into doubt following the arrival of Gianluigi Buffon at Parc des Princes.

    Meanwhile, the Blues have also been linked with a move for AC Milan teenage keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma whose position at San Siro remains uncertain amid the club's financial crisis.
