Chelsea willing to snap up Argentina international keeper for nothing



The ex-Rennes star established himself as Thomas Tuchel’s first-choice shot-stopper across an outstanding debut campaign after swapping the Ligue 1 side for west London, playing an important role as the club secured a fourth-placed finish and lifted the Champions League trophy.

But Arrizabalaga is the only other serious option available to Thomas as it stands and the west Londoners are scouring the transfer market to strengthen between the sticks.

The ex-Rennes star established himself as Thomas Tuchel’s first-choice shot-stopper across an outstanding debut campaign after swapping the Ligue 1 side for west London, playing an important role as the club secured a fourth-placed finish and lifted the Champions League trophy.

But Arrizabalaga is the only other serious option available to Thomas as it stands and the west Londoners are scouring the transfer market to strengthen between the sticks.ulham’s Marcus Bettinelli, who spent last term on loan at Middlesbrough, is firmly on the Blues’ radar and former Manchester United star Romero is also attracting serious interest, according to The Telegraph.

Sergio has been without a club after his six-year stay at United came to an end and the former Argentina international wants to resolve his future as quickly as possible, with the new campaign on the horizon.

The 34-year-old star made just seven league starts for the Red Devils after arriving in England from Sampdoria six years ago but proved himself as a reliable deputy to the Spain international David de Gea in cup competitions.

With 96 international matches to his name, Sergio is the ninth-most capped player in his country’s history.
