Matz Sels is ‘one of the best’ goalkeepers in the Premier League, says ex-Chelsea star Joe Cole (Picture: Getty)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Joe Cole says there is ‘something systemically wrong’ with Chelsea<\/a>’s goalkeeping situation and Nottingham Forest<\/a>’s Matz Sels could be a possible solution for his former team.<\/p>\n

Robert Sanchez<\/a> established himself as Chelsea’s number one under Enzo Maresca at the start of the season, holding off competition from Djordje Petrovic<\/a>, who was sent to partner club Strasbourg on loan.<\/p>\n

But a series of costly errors convinced Maresca to take Sanchez out the firing line earlier this month, with summer signing Filip Jorgensen starting the Blues’ last three league games<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s proven a difficult start for Jorgensen, though, with the young Dane facing strong criticism after a less-than-convincing performance in Chelsea’s 3-0 humbling away to Brighton<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jorgensen was also largely at fault for Chelsea dropping points at the weekend after allowing Marco Asensio’s 89th-minute strike to squeeze underneath his body in a 2-1 defeat at Aston Villa<\/a>.<\/p>\n

‘He is okay. He feels a little bit sad and upset because he recognises it was a mistake but overall he is okay,’ Maresca said when asked how Jorgensen had reacted to the mistake<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But it appears Jorgensen will continue his run in the side against Southampton this evening, with Maresca adding: \u2018If we need to change players every time there is a mistake, we will change many players but no, nothing has changed.’<\/p>\n

Cole believes Chelsea’s goalkeeping dilemma is ‘systemic’ (Picture: Getty)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Speaking on The Dressing Room Podcast<\/a>, ex-Chelsea winger Cole argued that the club’s repeated mistakes in the goalkeeping department were a sign that their entire recruitment model could be broken.<\/p>\n

‘It’s something systemically wrong because you can’t have nine goalkeepers on your books and not know which one is your number one,’ he said.<\/p>\n

‘You’ve got Kepa [Arrizabalaga] out on loan, Petrovic out on loan, you’ve bought some young, promising ones. <\/p>\n

‘If your system works well, you shouldn’t make as many mistakes that have been made with goalkeepers.’<\/p>\n
