Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart, Chelsea’s co-sporting directors, said: “We’re very pleased to welcome Robert to Chelsea and he adds further quality to our goalkeeping unit.
“Robert has repeatedly proved himself in the Premier League and been capped by his country. We are excited to watch him work with Mauricio [Pochettino] and his coaching team during the season ahead.”
Chelsea were looking to strengthen their goalkeeping ranks after selling Edouard Mendy to Saudi Arabian side Al-Ahli earlier this summer.
Sanchez, who has two caps for Spain, came through the academy at Brighton, where he made a total of 90 appearances
