Chelsea are weighing up a shock move for Fulham goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli, claims The Daily Telegraph.
Thomas Tuchel's side need a new third-choice goalkeeper after releasing Willy Caballero at the start of the month.
Edouard Mendy is the current No.1 at Chelsea with club-record signing Kepa playing second fiddle.
Former Crystal Palace goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey was being considered by Chelsea but he has instead signed for Burnley on a two-year deal.
Chelsea are therefore likely to explore the signing of Bettinelli, who is a free agent after his release from Fulham this month.
The 29-year-old played a key role in Fulham's promotion back to the Premier League in 2017/18 but was immediately pushed to the fringes after that.
Bettinelli spent last season on loan with Middlesbrough in the Championship but had a less-than-impressive campaign.
The former England Under-21 international finished as the second lowest WhoScored rated player (20+ starts) in the Championship (6.25 rating).
