Chelsea are reportedly interested in signing a former Arsenal goalkeeper this summer.

There have been many instances of players transferring directly between the London rivals, such as when Kai Havertz joined Arsenal from the Blues last year. 

Now, Mauricio Pochettino's side could attempt to bring a former Gunner back to the Premier League. Chelsea have spent over £1billion on players under Todd Boehly.


Robert Sanchez started the season as Chelsea's first-choice goalkeeper after joining from Brighton.

However, Djordje Petrovic has been featuring for Chelsea after Sanchez suffered an injury.

According to Tutto Juve, Chelsea could be set to make another signing in the goalkeeping department as they target Juventus' Wojciech Szczesny.

Szczesny, who could be available for just £8.5million (€10million) is reportedly on Chelsea's shortlist, while Juventus may attempt to replace him with Monza's Michele Di Gregorio as they look to reduce their wage bill.

It is anticipated that a deal for Di Gregorio could cost around £17.1million (€20million).

Szczesny has kept 15 clean sheets in 32 Serie A appearances for Juventus so far this season.

In total he has played 249 times for Juventus since joining from Arsenal in 2017. While at Juventus, Szczesny has won three Serie A titles and two Coppa Italias. 

Szczesny joined Arsenal as a youngster in 2006 and went on to make his senior debut in 2009. He played 181 times for the Gunners. The 34-year-old is still popular with many Arsenal supporters. 

Chelsea were previously linked with a move for current Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale ahead of the winter transfer window.

Ramsdale has fallen down the pecking order at Arsenal, with David Raya establishing himself as the Gunners' first-choice goalkeeper.
