There’s a whirlwind of activity at Chelsea at the moment as the club wrap up deal after deal to conclude a busy summer.

The goalkeeper situation looked pretty settled just a week ago – but a swoop for Emi Martinez late last week changed the equation.

It displaced Robert Sanchez as the club’s number one choice, with little time remaining for him to find a new club. Still, good work from the sporting directors looks to have done the job already. Fabrizio Romano is reporting that there is a verbal agreement with Como over a loan for the Spaniard.

Amusingly, Sanchez will join up with Trevoh Chalobah, who made the same move this summer.

Of course Chelsea would rather this was a permanent deal than a loan, but given how little time was left in the window they will be pretty happy just to have found a destination for Sanchez. Having him sit on the bench all year unhappy was not going to be a good solution.

Hopefully he does well in Serie A, and Como buy him outright next summer.
