John Obi Mikel has urged Chelsea to seek an elite goalkeeper to strengthen the squad despite Robert Sanchez's impressive showing in the Club World Cup. Mikel recognizes Sanchez's talent but expresses concerns over his past high-profile mistakes and suggests that healthy competition is essential. He believes that another top goalkeeper will aid the team in competing effectively in both the Champions League and Premier League. Sanchez performed well against Paris Saint-Germain but should be pushed for his position to ensure the highest level of performance moving forward.
Chelsea icon John Obi Mikel emphasized the need for the club to pursue an elite-level goalkeeper this summer, despite Robert Sanchez's notable performances in the Club World Cup.
Mikel stated, "I still believe we do need a top, top goalkeeper, as reported by The Chelsea Chronicle. Healthy competition is important and we've seen that with the signing of Joao Pedro and Liam Delap."
Despite his recent achievements, Sanchez has faced criticism for high-profile mistakes over the past two seasons, leading to questions about his reliability in crucial matches.
Mikel acknowledged Sanchez's key role in Chelsea's 3-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup final, where he kept a clean sheet, yet still insisted on the need for competition at the goalkeeper position.
