4 most likely replacements for Thibaut Courtois at Chelsea

#3 Kasper Schmeichel

Kasper Schmeichel was awe-inspiring at the World Cup

By virtue of his exploits in Russia for the Denmark national team, Schmeichel has merchandised himself as one of the finest keepers in the football world. The 31-year-old enjoyed a stellar World Cup campaign, as he only conceded two goals while he saved three penalties in his last game against Croatia.

According to reports, Chelsea are weighing on a move for the Danish glovesman as the ultimate backstop, in case Courtois bids adieu to his current club.

The Pensioners have also been urged by Craig Burley, the ex-Chelsea midfielder, who wants to see his erstwhile side move for the Denmark international.

"He is a good shot stopper. Chelsea need a goalkeeper who is good at shot stopping and coming out," he said.
