Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga does not want to leave, according to a report.
The Sun have reported that Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga wants to stay at the club and fight for his place in the starting lineup.
The £150,000-a-week (Spotrac) Spain international goalkeeper believes that he could play regularly under new Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino.
“Kepa is big pals with Toni Jimenez who will be joining Pochettino as goalkeeper coach,” states the report.
“The pair have started planning and believe Kepa can improve next season.”
Chelsea are on the verge of selling goalkeeper Edouard Mendy and are looking to bring in Andre Onana from Inter Milan in the summer transfer window, according to the report.
What should Chelsea do about Kepa Arrizabalaga?
In our view, if Kepa Arrizabalaga wants to stay at Chelsea and fight for his place in the starting lineup, then the Blues should keep him.
Edouard Mendy is leaving Chelsea, and Onana could come in his place.
That would mean Kepa would have to compete with Onana for a place in the starting lineup.
That would not necessarily be a bad thing for Chelsea.
After all, Pochettino would like to have two top-quality players for each position, and Onana and Kepa would push each other.
Chelsea will be aiming to at least finish in the top four of the Premier League table next season, and the Blues will need a very strong squad to be successful in that quest.
