Kelleher has been on and off the initial team sheet this season. He has featured for 1530 minutes so far, distributed across 17 games. In those many opportunities, he has managed to keep eight clean sheets while conceding 15 goals.

The Irish shot-stopper is a proactive keeper who quickly comes out of his line to cut down the angles. He has quick reflexes and strong hands to block shots. He keeps his calm under pressure situations and has good penalty-saving abilities.

Robert Sanchez has failed to impress

Chelsea has Robert Sanchez as their primary goalkeeper but his performances have been debatable so far. He hasn’t flourished between the sticks and has messed up on multiple occasions. It’s evident that the club needs a better option if they wish to compete for prestigious titles.

As per the latest reports, Enzo Maresca has set his eyes on Liverpool’s Caoimhín Kelleher. The Irish shot-stopper is still very much the second choice behind Alisson Becker. The arrival of Giorgi Mamardashvili next season could make things even worse for him.

Hence, Kelleher wouldn’t mind leaving Anfield given he gets a guaranteed start at the Stamford Bridge. Even Liverpool shouldn’t mind cashing on the goalkeeper should Chelsea offer a reasonable transfer price. It will be interesting to see how this chapter unfolds in the coming weeks.
