Chelsea Identifies Trubin as Mendy’s Replacement

Chelsea has identified Shakhtar Donetsk goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin as a potential replacement for Edouard Mendy who joined Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal.

Transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano revealed that Chelsea ‘appreciates’ Trubin as they seek cover for Kepa Arrizabalaga following Mendy’s departure.

Mendy’s move to Saudi leaves Chelsea with a gap to fill in the goalkeeping area of the team with no one to give Kepa a run for the number one spot.

However, Trubin is among the names of interest as Chelsea eye signing a new goalkeeper for their manager Mauricio Pochettino.
