Chelsea’s new signing, Robert Sanchez, has expressed his admiration for former Brighton teammate Levi Colwill and his ambition to become Chelsea’s number one goalkeeper. Sanchez, a Spanish goalkeeper, recently completed a £25 million move from Brighton to Stamford Bridge. The 25-year-old made 23 Premier League appearances for Brighton last season before losing his starting place to Jason Steele. Despite being signed as cover and competition for current Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga, Sanchez has made it clear that he wants to be the club’s first-choice goalkeeper.
Sanchez spoke about his excitement at joining Chelsea and working with their esteemed coach. He acknowledged the coach’s successful track record at previous clubs and expressed his hope that his playing style would suit the coach’s preferences. Sanchez sees his move to Chelsea as an opportunity to contribute to the club’s success and win trophies. He is ready for the challenge and believes that the club will provide him with the platform to develop as a goalkeeper and showcase his abilities.
Interestingly, Sanchez will reunite with former Brighton teammates Levi Colwill and Marc Cucurella at Chelsea. Colwill, who impressed on loan at Brighton last season, is expected to play a significant role for Chelsea this season. Cucurella, who joined Chelsea last year in a £60 million deal, adds further familiarity for Sanchez. Sanchez praised Colwill’s development during their time together at Brighton and believes that the young defender is destined for great things.
Sanchez’s departure from Brighton was met with well wishes from Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi. While acknowledging Sanchez’s talent, De Zerbi explained that sometimes difficult decisions have to be made for the benefit of the team. Sanchez made 90 appearances for Brighton after joining the club at the age of 15.
