Interesting signing, pretty similar background to Undav and the other striker they signed from the German third division this summer.
Was seen as a massive talent in Sweden when he broke through but kind of been under the radar for a couple of years.

Looks like he's going on loan to Sturm Graz in Austria. I think his time is probably up.

Kjell Scherpen staat komend seizoen onder de lat in Oostenrijk
Kjell Scherpen (23) vervolgt zijn loopbaan in Oostenrijk. De lange doelman, die het afgelopen seizoen op huurbasis uitkwam voor Vitesse, wordt door zijn club Brighton uitgeleend aan Champions League-kandidaat Sturm Graz.

"Kjell Scherpen (23) continues his career in Austria. The tall goalkeeper, who spent last season on a rental basis for Vitesse, is loaned by his club Brighton to Champions League candidate Sturm Graz.
Scherpen made his breakthrough five years ago in his hometown of Emmen, after which Ajax took over the talented keeper. In Amsterdam he got no further than a few appearances in the main force. Two years ago, Scherpen made the switch for five million and the switch to Brighton for four years. He is not yet entitled to playing time at that Premier League club.
After previous rental periods at Ostend and Vitesse in Belgium, the youth international will now try his luck at Sturm Graz. With the Austrian number two, Scherpen, if he finalizes the rental deal in Graz during the week, can immediately try to enforce a place in the Champions League in the coming months.
Brighton today announced the arrival of another Dutch goalkeeper, Bart Verbruggen. In recent weeks, Scherpen had to tolerate him under the bar of the Dutch Juniors at the European Championships in Georgia".
Yes, I imagine he's on his way if/when we get an offer for him. Hasn't really shone on loan, and we've got a whole lot of up-and-coming that are probably ahead of him in the pecking order (not to mention we've just spent nearly £20M on a GK).

Last season Sturm Graz had Okonkwo on loan from Arsenal, who did a good job. They have two young, inexperienced keepers on their books. Will be interesting to see if Scherpen starts.

They are being phased in over three seasons starting with the season just gone. For 23-24 season clubs can loan out a maximum of 7 players over the course of the season. It drops to 6 for the 24-25 season.
It’s worth remembering these restrictions do not apply to players under 21 or any player considered club trained.

I doubt we would loan him somewhere without the guarantee he's the starter.

Interesting! So it's more about what Chelsea used to do with players like Lewis Baker than loaning out players full stop. So we had Alzate only perhaps last season?

Lewis Baker would be fine as he would count as club trained, even though he was being loaned out well into his mid 20s.
The new rules are about stopping clubs hoarding players (this is where someone like Baker is a good example of the rules not going far enough) and making sure the loan market is used for player development.
I’m not sure if Alzate would count as club trained, he joined us at 18 so would probably not count but I’d need to double check.
Players like Zeqiri, Schrepen, and Shane Duffy would have counted towards the limit last season as all are over 21 and none are club trained.

Great intel. It's a sensible rule. I'd probably make it something like 3 players over 23 whatever their classification. What Chelsea was doing was just daft. Step in the right direction though.

Get him back I want to see more rotation amongst the goalies
Then we could have a Really Big Keeper debate.
Would rather have Ryan back so we can have a small keeper debate

Needs to be a Michael McIntyres ‘The wheel’ type set up under the changing room floor.Get him back I want to see more rotation amongst the goalies
Whenever a goal is conceded they go back down with a 1in 3 chance of popping back up again.
Fair.
We already have the wheel of Steele….can just adapt that
