Finally, Chelsea agree transfer to bring Brighton star to Stamford Bride

Chelsea have finally agree a £25m deal with Brighton to sign goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, National Daily reports.

The fee is inclusive of add-ons and a sell-on clause. The 25-year-old is now for a medical at Stamford Bridge.

Sanchez is expected to provide cover and competition to Kepa Arrizabalaga at Chelsea

The Spaniard will provide cover and competition for his compatriot and first-choice Kepa Arrizabalaga.

The Blues were out to strengthen their goalkeeping position following the departure of selling Edouard Mendy. The Senegalese left Chelsea for Saudi Arabian side Al-Ahli in a reported fee of £16m earlier this summer.

Sanchez came through the academy Brighton’s, but has since fallen behind Jason Steele in the pecking order.
