New Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez has explained his decision to leave Brighton for Chelsea.

“I started really my career here in England,” Sanchez told Chelsea’s official website.

“Brighton has given and provided me everything I needed as a goalkeeper inside and outside the pitch to get the maximum potential out of me which I’m really happy I have done and thankful.

“Obviously now it is another bigger challenge and I’m ready for it.

“Choosing Chelsea was the best choice that I could have picked because of the opportunities that they have presented in front of me is amazing to develop more as a goalkeeper, learning and to compete for the spot and show everybody how good I can be.”
