Chelsea shocked the whole world on Sunday at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, when they defeated European champions PSG to win the FIFA Club World Cup despite being the under dogs.
Three brilliant first goals from Cole Palmer and Joao Pedro were enough for the blues to win the maiden edition of the 32-team expended Club World Cup.
The London based club has only signed Pedro, Liam Delap and Jamie Gittens. However, Chelsea is still in the transfer market trying to sign a news goalkeeper.
Chelsea legend Mikel Obi believes the blues should replace Robert Sanchez despite helping Chelsea win the Club World cup and winning the Golden Gloves as the tournament best goalkeeper.

Reacting to Chelsea win over PSG on DAZN, he said: “People might say we had an easy draw but you still have to beat what is in front of you and we did that.
“We got to the final and we absolutely destroyed PSG. Not only winning this trophy but the money we will get from this will help the club massively in terms of FFP.”
Real Madrid legend Gareth Bale interjected Mikel by asking: “Who are they going to buy next?! They can’t sign a goalkeeper because he had a great game.”
Obi Mikel, replied: “No, no, no, we are still buying a goalkeeper.
“I’m still not convinced with Sanchez at all but let’s give him credit, he had a great game today, I’ll give him that.
“I still believe we need a top, top goalkeeper. Sanchez a had brilliant game but going into new season, with the Premier League and Champions League, you still need a top goalkeeper.
“This should give him good confidence ahead of the new season and hopefully we see a new Sanchez next season.
“But healthy competition is important and we’ve seen that with the signing of Joao Pedro and Liam Delap.”
When Bale was also asked if he was also of the opinion that Chelsea needed to sign a new goalkeeper.
He said: “It’s the manager’s decision. I don’t think it’s bad to have healthy competition and if they sign a new goalkeeper, they can battle it out.
“We’ve seen teams in the past have two great goalkeepers. We had it at Real Madrid, they used to swap sometimes and it creates a fight for that place and keeps everyone on their toes.
“I don’t see it as a bad thing to try and get another keeper.”
