Chelsea is reportedly planning to send young goalkeeper Teddy Sharman-Lowe to a Championship club for the upcoming season.
The England Under-21 international played a part in helping Doncaster achieve promotion from League Two during the current campaign.
Now, the Blues are keen for the 22-year-old to experience a higher level of competition to enhance his skills and reputation.
This move is being considered even though manager Enzo Maresca has encountered issues with his first-choice goalkeepers, Robert Sanchez and Filip Jorgensen, whose form has been inconsistent.
Sanchez was temporarily benched in February, but his replacement, Jorgensen (who is Swedish-born), made two mistakes immediately after being given the opportunity against Brighton.
Maresca has since reverted to using the 27-year-old Spanish keeper.
He recently spoke positively about Sanchez following the 1-0 Premier League victory at home against Everton on Saturday.
Maresca commented: “You can see how his teammates celebrated with him, even at the end of the match. They understand Robert hasn`t had an easy time recently, so they`ve been supportive and helpful.”
“Robert has already had many strong moments this season,” he added. “As humans, we often focus on the negatives rather than the positives. He`s had some excellent performances for us.”
Although some Chelsea supporters have expressed dissatisfaction with Sanchez, it is understood that acquiring a new goalkeeper is not among Maresca`s top priorities for the summer transfer window.
The West London club already has several goalkeepers, including Djordje Petrovic, who was the primary choice under Mauricio Pochettino and had a very good season on loan at Strasbourg.
However, Kepa Arrizabalaga, who holds the record for the world`s most expensive goalkeeper, is not expected to be considered by Maresca, despite performing well during his loan spell at Bournemouth.
