Chelsea have set their sights on signing AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan during the upcoming January transfer window.
The Blues are hoping to secure a pre-contract agreement with him in January, with an eye on a free transfer at the end of the season.
They were heavily linked with Maignan during the summer transfer window, and even agreed on personal terms with the player, but they failed to secure an agreement with the Italian outfit.
Enzo Maresca’s team has needed a top-class goalkeeper for a while now, following a series of high-profile errors by their current shot-stopper, Robert Sanchez.
Therefore, it will be interesting to see if Chelsea can wrap up a move for a goalkeeper in the coming months.
According to TBR football, they are confident of signing the French goalkeeper in the upcoming transfer window.

Why a move to Chelsea makes sense for Mike Maignan
Chelsea could use a lot more quality in the goalkeeping department following some mediocre performances by Sanchez in the past few seasons.
The potential arrival of Maignan would be a massive upgrade for Chelsea as he is one of the best goalkeepers in Europe at the moment.
He has been labelled as an “elite” player in the past. He’s at the peak of his career, and this could be the right time for him to move through the Premier League.
Chelsea are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and they will be able to offer him the platform to fight for trophies. He is likely to be attracted to the idea of joining them. The London club will be able to offer him a lucrative contract as well.
They have managed to win the Conference League and the FIFA Club World Cup recently, and they will look to fight for major trophies this season. The opportunity to play for them will be hard to turn down for the French international.
