Official: Lewis Hall future, Nkunku injury status as Robert Sánchez joins Chelsea from Brighton & Hove Albion

Chelsea has added another player from Brighton & Hove Albion, but it’s not the one we had been waiting for all summer. Unless, of course, Robert Sanchez has Moisés Caicedo hidden away in one of his suitcases.

With the exception of that unlikely ploy, only Sánchez is arriving today, serving as Kepa Arrizabalaga’s primary competition and primary backup. In light of that mission statement, the most recent £25 million (well, £20 + 5 million) care package we sent to Brighton seems quite kind. Again.

Sánchez, who joined the Seagulls’ youth program at age 15 and later made his way up to the team, has now committed to the Blues for seven years.

Sánchez, who is only 25 years old, has plenty of room to mature and advance, and reuniting him with Ben Roberts, his former goalkeeper coach at Brighton, should help in that regard as well. Under the new head coach Roberto De Zerbi, Sánchez had lost his spot on the team the previous year, despite the fact that he had previously been highly regarded and had a rising reputation. He has two appearances under his belt for Spain.

Kepa, Sánchez, and Bettinelli are the three goalkeepers for this campaign.

Thank you, Robert!

More news…..

According to a recent report, Chelsea’s key creative star will be out for “weeks” due to injury.

Today, Nizaar Kinsella provided the update on Christopher Nkunku’s injury that Chelsea supporters had been waiting for.

It’s not bad news, but it’s also not good news.
According to Kinsella, the France international will only be out for “weeks rather than months” after being injured in our final summer friendly due to a challenge from Mats Hummels.

It’s been almost a year since it was announced by every transfer insider in the game that he would join us this summer, and since then it’s been a torturous wait to see him in action, which makes it even more frustrating for fans.

It’s just incredibly frustrating to learn that he won’t be available to start the season.

Nkunku has had a strong preseason, and the team has come together well around him. Mauricio Pochettino will now have to go back to the drawing board and figure out which players to use in which ways in order to get his attack firing. All the work he put into getting ready for Liverpool will now be for nothing.

London club is very close to signing the “magnificent” Fabrizio Romano from Chelsea.

The temporary signing of Lewis Hall from Chelsea by Crystal Palace is currently very close to being completed.

That is what reputable journalist Fabrizio Romano claims.

Lewis Hall, 18, is about to leave Chelsea on loan for the upcoming season, according to a late Friday night report from Romano.

In order to sign the versatile youngster, Premier League and London club Palace are reportedly at “advanced stages.”.

Crystal Palace and Chelsea are nearing a loan agreement for Lewis Hall, according to Romano.
Final details are being discussed as negotiations are in their advanced stages and are almost complete.
”.

Hall played a total of nine Premier League games for Chelsea’s first team last season and didn’t appear out of place in the least.

We like the sound of him improving his game this season while on loan at Palace and getting regular playing time.

It will be interesting to see where the English teenager is used at Selhurst Park because he is an excellent option for left-back or central midfield. Of course, the agreement still needs to be signed.

The left-footed rising star, in our opinion, stands a strong chance of eventually joining Mauricio Pochettino’s Blues team.

Hall, who Micah Richards previously praised as “magnificent” on Sky Sports, will be adored by the Palace supporters.

Even at the highest level, he is unfazed and plays with such intelligence despite only being 18 years old. Technically sound and an excellent crosser, too.
