Why did Chelsea not move for Kelleher? Transfer window Q&A
- Published
BBC Sport senior football correspondent Sami Mokbel has been answering your questions on the summer transfer window.
Will asked: Working out the sanity of Chelsea's transfer policy is impossible, but can anyone explain why when a goalkeeper like Kelleher is available for as little as £18m (less than Sanchez cost) Chelsea refuse to upgrade an area they are clearly crying out for?
Sami said: It's a good question. Chelsea have made it clear that a new goalkeeper isn't viewed as a priority for them this summer which flies in the face of some of the difficulties they have faced in that position last season.
Chelsea have another big summer ahead. They want a striker, a winger and a centre-back. That won't come cheaply. So they will have to prioritise their spending. However, if towards the end of the window a market opportunity arises to sign a goalkeeper who is a marked improvement on the options they already have, I wouldn't be shocked if they engaged.
