Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez has been spotted arriving in Italy today as he’s expected to complete a medical and sign for Como.
The Spanish shot-stopper has struggled during his time at Stamford Bridge, and in the last few days he’s been replaced by Emiliano Martinez.
Sanchez started for Chelsea in their opening Premier League match against Fulham, but notably put in a poor display that seemed to be the final straw for his Blues career.
CFC ended up signing Martinez from Aston Villa, and he started their next game against Brighton, while Sanchez now looks to be closer to leaving to join Como…

Chelsea ruthless with Martinez transfer and Sanchez exit
Chelsea showed a real ruthless side with their handling of the Sanchez situation, though it’s also slightly unclear why it took them so long to act.
The 28-year-old was quite clearly not good enough for Chelsea, as we saw numerous times last season and the year before.
