Newcastle United and Chelsea target Gregor Kobel

Chelsea and Newcastle United are in the mix to sign Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper Gregor Kobel in a summer transfer. 

The Switzerland international’s rise at the Bundesliga side hasn’t gone unnoticed as the Blues already showed interest last summer.

In April 2025, Sport Witness covered claims from Germany that Chelsea are serious about him.

Two months later, the stopper said his love for BVB fans convinced him to stay despite the west London club’s interest.

At that time, he said: “Everyone knows that I feel extremely comfortable in Dortmund. I love the fans, the stadium, the club, and the atmosphere. Everyone knows that and sees it when I’m on the pitch. I really appreciate that.”
