Forgotten Premier League star and Chelsea target’s barber lets slip his summer transfer plans in emotional post
A FORGOTTEN Premier League star’s barber has let slip that the player could be on the move this summer.
Robert Sanchez was Brighton‘s first-choice goalkeeper at the start of the season but fell behind Jason Steele in the pecking order during the last few months of the campaign.
The Spaniard had a meteoric rise at the Seagulls after a success loan spells at Rochdale and Forest Green Rovers.
In 2020 he was able to replace Maty Ryan as Brighton’s first-choice goalkeeper.
He continued to impress and eventually earned a call-up to the Spain national team and has since earned two caps.
Sanchez, 25, had been linked with a move away from the club, rumours that have accelerated since he was dropped by manager Roberto De Zerbi.
And now it appears his move away has all but been confirmed by his barber Mido Khalid.
After an appointment to get a new trim, Mido posted a picture of his work with the goalkeeper’s hair and added a caption wishing him luck in the future.
He wrote on Instagram: “Wherever you will go or whatever you will do I wish you the best for your future!
“Thank you for giving me the chance to express my craft on you.
“I hope your career will be full of successes and satisfactions. Vamonosss!!!”
