Former Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel has criticised goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, claiming the club cannot challenge for the Premier League title with him between the sticks and urging Chelsea to sign a new shot-stopper in the summer.
John Obi Mikel has openly questioned Chelsea’s ability to win major honours with Robert Sanchez as their first-choice goalkeeper. Sanchez, who was dropped earlier in the season due to a series of costly errors, was recalled for the recent win over Leicester but failed to convince his critics.
Mikel believes Chelsea must prioritise signing a top goalkeeper, alongside a striker and a centre-back, to close the gap on Manchester City, Arsenal, and Liverpool next season. With the Blues struggling to secure Champions League qualification, Mikel insists that smart recruitment will be crucial for their long-term ambitions.
