So he’s another player with potential for the future, but once again, apparently Chelsea believe he has HUGE potential!
Next Courtois
Things didn’t turn out great for Chelsea and Thibaut Courtois, but for the keeper himself, he is out there enjoying a very good career as the Real Madrid and Belgium number one. Could Penders follow his footsteps?
Yes, says Romano…
Mike Penders is considered the new Thibaut Courtois. Chelsea scouts have fantastic reports on this goalkeeper so they decided to go strong for him. Gabriel Mec deal will be completed in the next days, Chelsea keep going with this big activity on the market. (@FabrizioRomano)

As you can see above, Romano says: ‘Mike Penders is considered the new Thibaut Courtois. Chelsea scouts have fantastic reports on this goalkeeper so they decided to go strong for him. Gabriel Mec deal will be completed in the next days, Chelsea keep going with this big activity on the market.’
So Penders and Mec set to arrive soon, and Chelsea will keep going with their transfer business this summer.
You just wonder whether they are going to get anymore first team signings that improve what they have already, because that is what they are going to need of they seriously want to challenge for top four this season, which they do.
First league game in just 9 days time against champions Manchester City!
