With Robert Sanchez and Andre Onana both under scrutiny for inconsistent performances, Chelsea and Manchester United are keeping a close eye on Gregor Kobel. While Dortmund are unwilling to sell the 27-year-old mid-season, a summer move could be on the cards. Chelsea have already secured young Belgian goalkeeper Mike Penders for next season, but Kobel's experience and quality could make him an attractive option. Manchester United have been tracking the Swiss international for some time, but their focus on other positions may leave Chelsea with a clearer path to securing his signature.
- Chelsea and Manchester United are interested in Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper Gregor Kobel.
- Dortmund are unwilling to sell him in January but may consider offers in the summer.
