Illan Meslier is a player Chelsea is keeping an eye on as they consider replacing their shot-stopper this summer. Edouard Mendy's future at Stamford Bridge is unknown, while Kepa Arrizabalaga has yet to establish his absolute dominance in goal.
Next summer, the London Giants might search for another goalkeeper as Todd Boehly continues to assemble an intriguing team. Graham Potter is still unconvinced by his available options, despite shifting his preference toward Kepa since taking over for Thomas Tuchel.
Under Thomas Tuchel, who favoured Mendy, Kepa, the most expensive shot-stopper of all time, was benched. Under the previous Chelsea manager, the Senegalese goalkeeper was crucial to Chelsea's Champions League victory, but under Potter, things have changed.
Reinstating Kepa was one of Graham Potter’s first decisions after taking over, and the former Brighton coach has maintained the stance. In the last few league matches, Mendy retained his position due to an injury to the Spanish goalkeeper.
However, there are doubts over Mendy’s long-term future, with the Senegalese shot-stopper considering an exit in the summer. Moreover, Kepa is yet to fully convince the Blues hierarchy of his long-term prospects, with suggestions of a sale in the summer still active.
