Kepa Arrizabalaga 'to fight for Chelsea future'

Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga will reportedly fight for his place at the club after he was benched for the Blues' 2-2 draw with Leicester City on Saturday.

Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga will reportedly fight for his place at the club after he was benched for the Blues's 2-2 draw with Leicester City on Saturday.

The former Athletic Bilbao man has come under pressure for his performances in recent weeks and saw Willy Caballero selected ahead of him at the King Power Stadium.

According to The Sun, a source close to the Spanish keeper said that he remains determined to fight for his place, but had been shocked by Frank Lampard's decision to omit him.

Lampard has acknowledged Kepa's struggles in recent weeks, but the 25-year-old reportedly feels that the defensive struggles ahead of him have contributed to his poor form.

The report adds that Chelsea are monitoring his situation carefully and could be tempted to sell him this summer.

Kepa is on wages of around £170,000 a week and cost Chelsea £71.6m when he arrived in August 2018.
