    🚨🔵 Xabi Alonso plays down reports on Diogo Costa or goalkeepers linked to Chelsea. “I am very happy with our goalkeepers I have. Mike Penders did great at Strasbourg and Sanchez has good experience after many years in PL”. https://t.co/bM6RhKDwut

Said to be cooling

Coolingone report

Filip Jorgensen's loan to Strasbourg is now agreed. Jorgensen had left Chelsea's pre-season tour to finalise the move. Chelsea happy with Robert Sanchez and Mike Penders as their two main keeper options. No bid for Porto's Diogo Costa despite reports.🧤 https://t.co/Xp9Pb4gy0u
