Chelsea ditch Oblak interest as £50m stopper declares interest in move


Jan Oblak

Chelsea look set to ditch their interest in Jan Oblak and Dean Henderson and move for a new £50m goalkeeper target instead.

Veteran back-up goalkeeper Willy Caballero once again started over club-record signing Kepa in Saturday’s FA Cup final.

Chelsea lost the game 2-1, with Kepa watching on from the bench, as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang struck twice for the Gunners.

The likelihood of the 25-year-old lining up as first-choice the Blues next season looks slim at best. Especially with Frank Lampard seemingly lining up his replacement.

Man Utd stopper Henderson had been a major target for Lampard, having excelled on loan at Sheffield United this season.

But United are keen to sign the England hopeful to a new deal, as they view him as their long-term No 1.

That led Chelsea to switch targets to experienced Atletico Madrid man Oblak, but the Slovenian comes with a heavy price tag.

The LaLiga giants would want over £100m for the 27-year-old – a price even steep for the big-spending Blues.

Despite that price, former Spurs and United striker Dimitar Berbatov believes Chelsea should do all they can to secure Oblak’s signing.

Pope the answer for Chelsea

However, it appears the Stamford Bridge outfit are ready to take a different route to find a new No 1.

That route leads them to Burnley and a proposed £50m deal for England international Nick Pope.

The DailyExpress reports that the 28-year-old is very interested in a return to London, having previously starred at Charlton.

Pope would certainly be a far cheaper option than Oblak. That would also allow Chelsea to focus on other potentiual summer targets.

Burnley are likely to resist any approach from the Blues. But if the player is keen and the price is right, then Lampard may soon get his man.

Meanwhile, Frank Lampard admitted that Chelsea were too complacent in the FA Cup final and that they did not play well enough to win it.

Coronavirus: 'The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing'

"The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing," says Andrew O'Dwyer, who is recovering after being infected with the new coronavirus following a skiing trip to Italy in late February. "I've had worse flu, without a doubt - but I wouldn't want to catch it again," he says during his self-isolation at home in south-west London. Despite having type 1 diabetes, Andrew says having the virus "isn't anything to worry about for me personally". He adds that the fever he experienced is "no different to normal flu-type symptoms". "I've not been concerned," he says. The severity of symptoms can vary widely among people. Those who are older and have pre-existing medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease) are more likely to become severely ill and can need hospital treatment. There have been 10 coronavirus-related deaths so far in the UK. Andrew was told the virus wasn't circulating in the resort ...

Babajide made a Stunning Revelation about the Forthcoming Governorship Election in Edo State

Babajide a veteran journalist, while speaking on the popular program “Journalist Hangout” on TVC news Friday August 7, made a stunning revelation about the forthcoming governorship election in Edo state, says all political parties should shown violence because election is not a do or die affair. Babajide while reacting said “ I have to say I have my fears about these forthcoming election, and I hope my fears does not come past. As we can see the shenanigans in Edo state it is now visible that it is no more Oshiomole against Obaseki, it is now PDP against APC which could be devastating in the light of the politics going on now. Obaseki himself divided the APC, because all the lawmakers in Edo state belong to the APC but he divided them by inaugurating some lawmakers, and refusing to inaugurate others. Right now as it stands 17 lawmakers have decided to align with the APC and just 7 lawmakers is with the Governor. For me I think Obaseki should have averted these problem by just issuing a...

However it is important to ensure it’s a light meal so you don’t feel too full. If you eat a big breakfast or lunch before an exam, you could feel drowsy and heavy, because your body’s energy is being channelled to the digestive system rath...
