On the back of the goalkeeper comparison last week, let& #39;s analyze other attributes like passing and sweeping. Goalies with 540 mins or more in top 5 leagues or more have been included. This is more of an individual analysis of Chelsea& #39;s goalkeeping situation than a group study.
Firstly, here& #39;s the comparison of different goalkeepers from last week. This graph focused only on shot stopping and cross collection efficiency. The upcoming analysis considers more players and has looked in depth at more attributes. https://twitter.com/ExpectedChelsea/status/1250413297049927683">https://twitter.com/ExpectedC...
KEPA ARRIZABALAGA
A large reason behind Kepa& #39;s fee was his passing range. He has always been a superb passer of the ball but his shot stopping and cross collection does have question marks. It will be difficult selling him, perhaps the best option is to bring in more competition.

NICK POPE
Pope has been extensively linked to Chelsea and like Kepa, he needs to be studied across different seasons. His numbers in 2017-18 were simply phenomenal before being struck by a serious injury. His 2019-20 season, however, is not as stellar when it comes shot stopping.

Goalies take longer than others to recover from serious injuries and the same has been true of Pope. His numbers have experienced a sharp improvement after January. While his passing is not great, it could be due to Burnley& #39;s style. His sweeping numbers are surprisingly solid.
JUAN MUSSO
Musso& #39;s profile suggests all-round competence, with his height and physique enabling him to be good at both shot stopping and cross collection. His passing numbers are also solid. However, his lack of sweeping action might be a concern

GIANLUIGI DONNARUMMA
Chelsea have been reported to make a big money bid for the young Italian goalie and it& #39;s easy to see why. His numbers across the board are simply phenomenal, with Donnarumma fulfilling all the requirements of a modern day goalie.

MIKE MAIGNAN
Maignan impressed against Chelsea in the Champions League, sparking rumours of a move. His passing and sweeping actions certainly need some work but his fundamentals at shot stopping and cross collection are solid. He is also a very efficient thrower of the ball.

DEAN HENDERSON
Henderson is an old school goalkeeper when compared to others in this study, focusing more on shot stopping than other attributes like passing and sweeping. Considering the difficulty of the chances he faces, his shot stopping is outstanding.

AARON RAMSDALE
Ramsdale is another young keeper who has impressed against Chelsea and found himself linked with a move. His shot stopping is encouraging and has won his team many points. However, like a few other goalkeepers, his passing needs work.

VICENTE GUAITA
Palace& #39;s big Spaniard has been one of the best goalkeepers in the division this year, keeping his team afloat through his superb shot stopping and cross collection. At the age of 33, he is having one of the best seasons of his life.

BEN FOSTER
Foster is another goalkeeper above 30 who is having a fantastic season. Despite Watford& #39;s woes, he is performing at exemplary levels and is doing an outstanding job of keeping difficult shots at bay. He has been among the top 10 goalies in the league this season.

ANDRE ONANA - CL
While others were compared based on their league stats, Onana& #39;s CL stats are the best we can find. Based on these, Onana is a tremendous shot stopper and cross collector. The short stature of his attackers makes it difficult for him to make accurate long passes.

SUGGESTED TARGET - PREDRAG RAJKOVIC
While Rajkovic has not been linked to Chelsea yet, his heroics for Reims this season makes him a very attractive targets. He& #39;s a great at dealing with shots and crosses and a reasonable passer and sweeper. He is certainly worth looking at.
