West Ham United manager Graham Potter is eager to reunite with Chelsea’s Robert Sanchez.
The 27-year-old Spanish goalkeeper plays under Potter in Brighton, and his performance at Chelsea is overwhelming. Bruce is trying to drive him away, and they are linked to players like Mike Maignan.
West Ham movement is ideal
According to the Times, Chelsea is likely to sanction his departure, and West Ham is planning a summer move for him. Potter wants to be reunited with the Spaniards, and players may be drawn to the opportunity.
He’ll want to play regularly at high levels, and that may not be possible at Chelsea next season. Ideally he will move on and join a competitive team.
West Ham has resources to improve talented players and teams. They aim to create a scary team that can push a top half finish next season.
Robert Sanchez will be a useful addition
Sanchez could prove to be a useful acquisition for them. Alphonse Adeola had a disappointing season last year, and the French goalkeeper was totally inconsistent. He needs more competition for places to improve and ideally sign the Spaniards.
Sanchez was able to compete with the French goalkeeper for his departure next year.
He has played for Potter in the past and knows the philosophy of an English manager. He may soon settle down and establish himself as a key player for West Ham.
Hammer had a disappointing season last year, finishing near the relegation zone. They will bounce back hard next year and get better. They need to improve their teams over the next few weeks and insert gaps in the sides.
