Chelsea was associated with a late move For goalkeeper Borussia Dortmund Gregor Kobel in the Winter Window, but in the end he got stuck with Sanchez and Undertudy Philip Jorgensen.
Bluesi will also be able to count on 19-year-old Belgian guardian Mike Peners when his £ 17m transition passes in June, but there is every chance that Kepa can return to Stamford Bridge next season.
