CHELSEA have reached an agreement with Brighton for goalkeeper Robert Sanchez.
The Spaniard, who will count towards the club’s homegrown quota, will provide competition for Kepa Arrizabalaga.
The Blues were keen to bring in additional competition for Kepa after Edouard Mendy left for Saudi side Al-Ahli in June.
Now, according to David Ornstein, a medical is set to take place “imminently” after a deal was reached between the two clubs.
Chelsea will pay an initial £20million fee plus £5m in performance related add-ons.
