While some have doubts over his Premier League readiness, most Chelsea fans believe Djordje Petrovic should be the club’s No.1 next season following his strong form on loan.
Si Phillips reflects on the growing support for Djordje Petrovic to become Chelsea’s starting goalkeeper next season. While he personally remains cautious due to Petrovic’s lack of Premier League exposure and potential ball-playing limitations under pressure, Phillips acknowledges the Serbian’s commanding presence, physicality, and strong performances in Ligue 1 with Strasbourg.
A community poll revealed a clear majority in favour of Petrovic taking the No.1 spot next season, with 87% of voters either likely or fully confident in the idea. The real question now lies with Chelsea’s hierarchy and Petrovic himself — especially considering the uncertainty over the futures of fellow goalkeepers like Robert Sánchez.
