3 potential replacements for Thibaut Courtois at Chelsea

Chelsea v Manchester United - The Emirates FA Cup Final
Thibaut Courtois

#1) Jan Oblak

Marseille v Atletico Madrid - UEFA Europa League - Final - Parc Olympique Lyonnais
Jan Oblak

Jan Oblak is a Slovenian professional footballer, who plays for Spanish club Atletico Madrid and the Slovenian national team as a goalkeeper.

He moved to Atletico Madrid for a fee of €16 million, becoming La Liga's most expensive goalkeeper of all time. In 2015-2016, he won the Ricardo Zamora Trophy for the best goalkeeper, conceding an all-time record low of 18 goals. He won the award again in the following two seasons.

His ability to organize his defence, his reading of the game, his insane reflexes, his calm and composed nature under pressure should make him the front runner to replace a quality goalkeeper like Thibaut Courtois at the Stamford Bridge.
