There have been links with Liverpool's second choice keeper Caoimhin Kelleher in recent days, but football.london understands any talk of a move is wide of the mark.

Despite the number of players available to Maresca, though, it is a department .

Speaking last month, Carragher said: "In terms of going for a title challenge next season they would still have to rectify the goalkeeping situation and someone up top.

"You can build a squad to get to where you are now and the top four, but you need gamechangers [to go for the title] and Liverpool did that in terms of bringing Alisson in, that made a huge difference for them."

That was backed up by Neville, who said soon after: "They do still make mistakes in certain parts of the game but that is every single team. I would still reiterate the two most difficult positions on the football pitch are centre-forward and goalkeeper.

"They are the two most influential positions on the pitch and if they have someone world-class in those positions then I do think they can be a real threat to the top teams in the next years if the rest of them can grow and continue to improve."

But Chelsea have shut down any talk of bringing in a goalkeeper in the near future. understands the club has a strong belief in Sanchez and moves have already been made looking to the future with the signings of Jorgensen and Penders.
