According to TBR Football, they are confident they will sign French goalkeepers.<\/p>\n<p>They certainly can use more quality in the goalkeeping department. Robert Sanchez has been criticised for his mediocre performance, and Chelsea need him an upgrade. Mainyan was one of the best goalkeepers in European football and he was able to prove he was an excellent addition. He has been labelled in the past as an &#8220;elite&#8221; player. He is at the peak of his career, and this may be the right time for him to move through the Premier League.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Meignan_might_fantasize_about_Chelseas_moves\"><\/span>Meignan might fantasize about Chelsea&#8217;s moves<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Meignan is facing Napoli (Photo: Marco Luzani\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Chelsea is one of the largest clubs in the world and can provide him with a platform to fight for the trophy. He may be drawn to the idea of \u200b\u200bjoining them. The London Club can also offer him a deal in favour of interest. They recently managed to win the Conference League and the FIFA Club World Cup. They are aiming to compete for major trophies this season. The opportunity to play for them would be difficult to refuse for the French International.<\/p>\n<p>It will be interesting to see if Chelsea can quickly close the deal.
