Chelsea are closing in on Villarreal goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen.

The Blues are keen on signing a new goalkeeper this summer, as new boss Enzo Maresca wants a goalkeeper who can fit his football philosophy.

Djordje Petrovic and Robert Sanchez did their bit last season, but none showed that they are good enough to be first choice goalkeeper at Chelsea.

However, Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez has insisted he is ‘the right guy’ for the style of play Enzo Maresca plans to implement at Chelsea.

Sanchez has however vowed to fight for the number one shirt this season.

“I am training hard to get that position. I’ll get some minutes and we’ll go from there,” Sanchez told talkSPORT.

“I always think playing with my feet is my game. I feel really comfortable with what [Maresca] wants.

“He has explained what he wants from me and I’ve been doing it in training, and it’s looking really good at the moment.

“I know what I can bring to the team. I am positive. It’s a totally different [style]. The goalkeeper here needs to “have a pair” and show a bit of personality. I think I am the right guy for that.

“Right now, I’m feeling really confident in training. It’s looking good. It’s about just being a bit different to what a normal goalkeeper is like, you need to have a bit of arrogance, hold the ball, show a bit, and like I said ‘have a pair’ and show a bit of quality.’

Chelsea signed Sanchez from Brighton for a fee of around £20million last summer and the 26-year-old went on to make 21 appearances in his debut season for the Blues.
