Chelsea shut down Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher with firm transfer stance

Chelsea have no intention of signing another goalkeeper in the January transfer window, or it seems next summer, football.london understands.

The Blues have four goalkeepers in their first team squad, with seven out on loan. Like the Chelsea squad on the whole, it is a burgeoning department.

Robert Sanchez is Enzo Maresca's current No.1 and he is supported by Filip Jorgensen, Marcus Bettinelli and Lucas Bergstrom.

Djordje Petrovic, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Gabriel Slonina, Teddy Sharman-Lowe, Ted Curd, Eddie Beach and Luke Campbell are all out on loan. Meanwhile, the Blues also have Mike Penders arriving at the club next summer.

There have been links with Liverpool's second choice keeper Caoimhin Kelleher in recent days, but football.london understands any talk of a move is wide of the mark.

Despite the number of players available to Maresca, though, it is a department Sky Sports pundits Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville both believe needs attention.

Speaking last month, Carragher said: "In terms of going for a title challenge next season they would still have to rectify the goalkeeping situation and someone up top.

"You can build a squad to get to where you are now and the top four, but you need gamechangers [to go for the title] and Liverpool did that in terms of bringing Alisson in, that made a huge difference for them."

That was backed up by Neville, who said soon after: "They do still make mistakes in certain parts of the game but that is every single team. I would still reiterate the two most difficult positions on the football pitch are centre-forward and goalkeeper.

"They are the two most influential positions on the pitch and if they have someone world-class in those positions then I do think they can be a real threat to the top teams in the next years if the rest of them can grow and continue to improve."

But Chelsea have shut down any talk of bringing in a goalkeeper in the near future. football.london understands the club has a strong belief in Sanchez and moves have already been made looking to the future with the signings of Jorgensen and Penders.
