Luis Enrique had a series of protégés in the Spanish team, that they were untouchable in the calls during their time in ‘La Roja’, and that right now they are not experiencing an easy situation in their respective teams. For example, César Azpilicueta, who is having less prominence than expected in his first year at Atlético de Madrid, or also Hugo Guillamón, who is not playing as much as he would like at Valencia.

Although one of the most notable cases is that of Robert Sánchez. It was, without a doubt, one of ‘Lucho”s most controversial bets, trusting him as the first alternative to Unai Simón, leaving out other goalkeepers with more experience such as David de Gea or Kepa Arrizabalaga. His good performances with Brighton & Hove Albion helped him gain the trust of the current Paris Saint-Germain coach, and he was able to make his international debut, being called up to the European Championship and the World Cup in Qatar.
But he already ended last season in a really delicate situation, being relegated to the substitute at the Falmer Stadium. This made him ask for a change of scenery in the summer, and his new challenge was found in a giant in low times like Chelsea, which paid around 30 million euros for his services. However, So far he has not been able to meet expectations, and he has not convinced Mauricio Pochettino at all, being one of those singled out for the poor results.

He has not provided the security that was expected of him, and is in the crosshairs of the Argentine manager and the ‘blue’ fans. For this reason, Todd Boehly is considering the arrival of a new goalkeeper in the winter market, and would have his sights set on Aaron Ramsdale, who does not want to continue at Arsenal. Because he has lost his place in Mikel Arteta’s schemes, even though he was considered one of the best in the Premier League in his position.
He had some very good seasons at the Emirates Stadium, surprising everyone, but now he no longer has the confidence of the Basque coach, so he is considering a way out, and could end up at Stamford Bridge.

Curiously, Ramsdale has been harmed by the incorporation of David Raya to the Gunnerscoming from Brentford a few months ago, who has established himself as Arteta’s starting goalkeeper.
The ex of Cornella, Blackburn Rovers and Southport was also a regular for Luis Enriqueand can cause a domino effect that leaves Robert without minutes at Chelsea.
