Is this goalkeeper who featured at the 2022 World Cup being lined up as Chelsea’s new No.1? Blues chairman Todd Boehly apparently held a “discreet” meeting with Borussia Dortmund representatives in order to discuss the impressive Gregor Kobel.
Just as an introduction for those fans who are unaware, Kobel is a 25-year-old stopper who’s played for 1899 Hoffenheim, FC Augsburg (which was a loan switch), VfB Stuttgart (firstly temporarily) and finally Borussia Dortmund during his blossoming career. There is pedigree with the Zurich-born man, as he represented Switzerland at Under-17 level through every youth age group. After he reached the Swiss U-21 side, he eventually played for his country as a senior athlete. As previously mentioned, the ‘keeper did play once in Qatar, as well.
The competent goalie has enjoyed what is being described as a ‘top’ term in the Bundesliga with Dortmund. In that time, Kobel is said to have ‘earned numerous new admirers’. In fact, the interest is at the point of Chelsea co-owner Boehly scheduling at meeting with BVB over a potential move for the €25million valued player. Graham Potter’s team are supposedly very keen on strengthening their options and selecting the best No.1 before next season.
