Chelsea to sign £50m goalkeeper to replace Sanchez?

Chelsea are expected to enter the transfer market for a marquee goalkeeper at the end of the campaign.

Robert Sanchez has been the Blues' first-choice between the sticks, but he has been error-prone on several occasions.

The club have not contemplated a change over the past year, but that is expected to happen later this summer.

It is claimed that Sunderland shot-stopper Robin Roefs is high on the club's shortlist to become the number one.

The Black Cats only signed the Dutchman last summer for £12 million, and he has been key to their fantastic league run.

Roefs had made several vital saves throughout the season, and he could pursue a bigger challenge this summer.

Sunderland are unlikely to block his departure to an elite club, but they won't entertain less than £50 million.

Hence, Chelsea will have to spend a premium fee to land the highly-rated shot-stopper from the Wearside outfit.

Tottenham Hotspur have also been linked with his services.
