Chelsea are interested in signing highly-sought after Premier League star

CHELSEA have joined the race to sign Leeds United goalkeeper Illan Meslier this summer, Football Insider has claimed

Edouard Mendy has impressed in the Blues net since his arrival from Rennes in 2020 and has established himself as one of the best stoppers in world football.

However – his place in the first-team as come under threat this season – as he was sidelined with a knee injury when Graham Potter arrived at Stamford Bridge in September with Kepa Arrizabalaga coming back into the fold as a result, impressing with a string of much improved performances.

He is still considered to be the number one at Chelsea – but with Kepa working his way back into the squad and all the speculation and all the speculation that the Senegal star is considering his future – there has been a shock name linked with a move

French shot-stopper Meslier has attracted interest from multiple European teams with the Blues also joining the race, according to the Football Insider website.

Both the goalkeepers at Stamford Bridge haven’t had a prolific impact this summer and the Blues could look for a more safer option between the sticks – it has been claimed.

CHELSEA have two brilliant stoppers and Mendy is one of the best in the world – so it would be crazy to replace him with a goalkeeper that simply is not good enough to play for a big club – he has proven that at Leeds

This is a rumour that has come out of nowhere and we believe that is where it will stay as we cant see Chelsea making an official move for the Leeds man – despite all the speculation that they are interested in a potential deal.

It just does not make sense
