At just 21 years of age, the former Bolton man represents a player who has a high ceiling and this follows the pattern of Chelsea trying to sign emerging young talent.
Having starred on loan at the Wanderers, this season has not quite gone to plan for the Burnley man.
Signing from Manchester City, for an initial fee of £15 million, the keeper is one of the most expensive signings for the Clarets ever. But, upon their return to Championship football, they have the chance to make a profit, as per Alan Nixon.
Sources close to the club believe that they would be happy to sell last year’s summer signing and managerless Chelsea are the team currently leading the race.
