According to The Sun, Chelsea are keeping an eye on Liverpool's second-choice goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher as the Blues seek to bolster their goalkeeping options.

The 25-year-old Irishman has struggled to secure a starting spot at Anfield, largely due to the dominance of first-choice keeper Alisson Becker. Kelleher has temporarily stepped into the spotlight following the Brazilian's recent injury, showcasing his talent in Premier League and European fixtures.
However, his long-term prospects remain uncertain, with his role as a backup unlikely to change once Alisson returns and the confirmed arrival of Mamardashvili next summer is expected to add further competition for the number-one spot.
Chelsea, aware of Kelleher’s frustration over limited opportunities, are reportedly monitoring his situation closely. Should Kelleher decide to leave Liverpool in search of regular first-team football, the Blues could emerge as strong contenders for his signing.
The potential transfer would offer the goalkeeper a chance to establish himself as a Premier League starter while solving the Stamford Bridge outfit's need for depth in the position.
