Chelsea have made tentative progress on their move for Brighton keeper Robert Sanchez after seriously exploring a bid for the Spaniard.

The price of some of the options Chelsea have looked at has previously been an obstacle especially.

It was the case earlier in the summer when a previous enquiry was made for Sanchez.

But developments have seen a possible Sanchez switch return to the agenda.

He already had one big fan at Stamford Bridge in his former Brighton mentor Ben Roberts who now heads up Chelsea’s goalkeeping department. New head coach Mauricio Pochettino has also given a move for Sanchez his blessing.
