Chelsea goalkeeper Gabriel Slonina is currently on trial with sister club Strasbourg , per L'Equipe .
The Blues signed the 22-year-old American international four years ago for £12 million, but he has failed to break into the first team.
Chelsea are now looking to streamline their squad and could kill two birds with one stone by loaning him to the BlueCo-owned French club.
Filip Jorgensen , who has struggled at Chelsea, has also been linked with Strasbourg.
Jorgensen has had opportunities to prove himself in a Chelsea shirt, but his handling is weak. He struggles in the air and is poor with the ball at his feet.
It is unclear which goalkeeper will join the Alsace club, but both men are surplus to requirements and need to be offloaded.
If Chelsea are serious about bouncing back, they should sell Robert Sanchez alongside Slonina and Jorgensen.
They need a more reliable shot-stopper to compete with Mike Penders .
Another downside of Chelsea's mindless youth recruitment policy is that the damage extends beyond the club's on-pitch regression.
While the Blues have stockpiled endless prospects, they have also stalled the development of players who desperately needed a clear pathway and regular football.
Slonina arrived from America with huge potential but hasn't developed, while Jorgensen has struggled to establish himself despite opportunities.
Chelsea's bloated squad model has created unnecessary competition and uncertainty. Young players need stability, not a conveyor belt of signings blocking their route.
The club's obsession with collecting potential has come at a cost, leaving promising players stuck in limbo while Chelsea continue searching for solutions.
