Chelsea deliberately sold a flaw?

According to ESPN, Chelsea is fully promoting the transfer of Xavi Simmons and Jorell Harto, and the already bloated lineup is still expanding.

The Blues have a huge lineup, and a shortcoming has emerged. With the joining of Joao Pedro and Delapp, the problem of centers that plagued Maresca has been solved. After repairing the loopholes in the frontcourt, Chelsea still needs to concentrate their efforts on the backcourt. Xavi Simmons can form a rotation with Palmer to relieve the pressure of the latter, while Harto can directly replace Charoba and form a new central defender partner with Colewell. After signing Dutch double stars, Chelsea's investment in the summer window of this season will reach 320 million euros, surpassing Liverpool to become the most arrogant buyer. Maresca has reached a central axis enhanced lineup, which is enough to meet the needs of multi-line combat in the new season. After this round of strengthening, the only position in Chelsea's team that has not changed is the goalkeeper, and the "world champion" seems to have deliberately exposed a flaw.

"Rebound King" is trustworthy, and the Blues goalkeeper does not need to be strengthened. As one of the most controversial goalkeepers in the Premier League, Robert Sanchez's performance is not particularly stable, but this player nicknamed "Rebound King" can break out in key games. Not long ago, the European Union and Club World Cup finals said it all. Sanchez has won the trust of the management again. Chelsea also bought Jonson and Penders in the summer window of 2024. The latter is regarded by senior management as a top goalkeeper with great potential and is about to go to Ligue 1 to level up (probably Strasbourg). The Blues do not need to introduce new goalkeepers for the time being, and their reserves in this position are still at the top level of the Premier League.
