Chelsea have reportedly agreed a fee for Brighton's Spanish goalkeeper Robert Sanchez.
The Seagulls outcast is set to undergo a medical with the Blues immediately, according to the Athletic's David Ornstein.
Despite falling out of favour at the Amex Stadium, Sanchez could be set for a move to west London, where Chelsea see him as potential competition for current No 1 Kepa Arrizalabaga.
The Blues have been in the hunt for a new stopper since selling Senegal star Edouard Mendy to Al-Ahli earlier in the transfer window, with just Spain's Arrizabalaga left.
The player has already agreed to the swap, and is keen to leave the Seagulls, seeing Chelsea as the ideal destination to continue his career after falling out of favour at the Amex.
Sanchez lost his place as Brighton’s no1 to Jason Steele towards the end of last season and seen Dutchman Bart Verbruggen join this summer.
And with relations not improving between him and manager Robert De Zerbi Sanchez has been training with Brighton’s under-18s rather than the first team.
A move to Chelsea, who have also agreed a deal for Monaco centre-back Axel Disasi, is one that would seemingly work out for all parties.
Though born in Spain and capped twice by them, Sanchez counts as homegrown as he has been brought up through Brighton's academy since the age of 15, and was courted by England prior to his Spain call-up.
