Gabby Agbonlahor has told Chelsea that Robert Sanchez isn’t good enough to be their number one shot stopper, and they should rather sign Aaron Ramsdale from Arsenal.

Sanchez moved to Stamford Bridge from Brighton in the summer after the Blues agreed to part with £25m.

The 26-year-old has however managed just five clean sheets in 15 matches for Chelsea this season, even though he has also shown signs of being a top goalie.

As for Ramsdale, the 25-year-old has struggled to get adequate game time at Arsenal this season, with Mikel Arteta preferring to play David Raya, whom he signed on loan from Brentford in the summer.

Chelsea have been linked with a move for the England international, and with the 2024 European Championship not too far away, Agbonlahor has urged him to dump the Gunners for their London rivals.

Discussing Ramsdale on talkSPORT, the former Aston Villa forward said: “If I’m him, I’m leaving 100%. [Mikel] Arteta tried to make out like he’s got two number ones and he can make subs with keepers. Let’s be honest, since he’s said that, it’s been [David] Raya non-stop.

“Raya’s his number one, there’s something about Ramsdale he’s not sure of. If I’m Ramsdale, he could miss out on the Euros with England if you’re not playing for another six months.

“You’re 25 years old, Chelsea need a goalkeeper, Sanchez isn’t good enough for Chelsea.”

TalkSPORT host Alan Brazil replied: “I’ve got nothing against Raya right, I’m not against him. But I don’t see what Ramsdale has done wrong to lose his place.”

Agbonlahor added: “I think if you look at Chelsea, Chelsea’s goalkeeper is not good enough for what Chelsea have got in that squad, they need a better goalkeeper. Ramsdale walks into that Chelsea team and I think he does well for them.

“If I’m Ramsdale, definitely in January, I’m pushing that through, but will Arteta block it and say no, I want a top number two? That’s the problem.”
