Chelsea identifies goalkeeper to sign after Mendy’s departure

Chelsea has identified Shakhtar Donetsk goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin as a potential transfer signing following Edouard Mendy’s departure.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea ‘appreciates’ Trubin as they seek cover for Kepa Arrizabalaga after Mendy left Stamford Bridge for Saudi Arabian side Al Ahli a few days ago.

Mendy’s move to Saudi means Chelsea now requires some extra depth and quality to keep their goalkeeping department to provide competition for Kepa.

However, Trubin is among the names of interest as Chelsea eye signing a new goalkeeper for their manager Mauricio Pochettino.

Trubin is a 21-year-old Ukrainian keeper.
