Chelsea According to reports, they have set their vision to sign the Mads Hermansen goalkeeper from Leicester City this summer. However, the Blues are not the only side to be interested, with the London rivals West Ham United also proved an interest.
According to a report to the DailyHermansen is back in the radar of Chelsea as they seek to sign another goalkeeper. Signing a shot stopper is on the wishes list of Enzo Maresca this summer and sees his former protected Leicester protected as the ideal option.
Blues currently have Robert Sanchez and Filipe Jorgensen as goal options, and Mike Penders is the third option in the FIFA Club World Cup. Djorde Petrovic, who spent last season in Strasburg, will leave after asking for the workforce that has traveled to the United States for the tournament.
Hermansen impressed Leicester City under Maresca and helped them win promotion to the Premier League. The goalkeeper was relegated with the Foxes last season, but he has still managed to keep his stock.
Denmark's former international, Brian Laudrup, had urged Leicester City's man to leave, as he was “too good for the championship.” Told viaplay via Captured:
“He has shown that it is too good for the championship. In my opinion, I should go from Leicester. I think that one year or more in the championship it will not be conducive to its development or the opportunity to play the Danish national team. I hope you leave Leicester this summer.”
The Maresca side will face the West Ham United competition, which also seeks to bring a goalkeeper. Hammers do not see Lukas Fabianski and Alphone Areola as ideal options to start the new season.
Ex -Migcampist John Obi Mikel repeatedly urged Chelsea to replace Robert Sanchez. He believes that Espanyol is not good enough to be the number 1 of the Stamford bridge and the club will not win the title of the Premier League among the places.
Told Dazn (via BBC Sport) in June:
“I don't think Robert Sanchez is the goalkeeper who can lead Chelsea to win titles. It's not this guy. They need to bring a top goalkeeper this summer if they want to compete.”
The Chelsea had talks with AC Milan for Mike Maignan, but negotiations collapsed after the clubs failed to agree on a quota. They have also been related to Marc-Andre Ter Stegen in Barcelona and James Trafford de Burnley.
