Mauricio Pochettino has inform Chelsea he wants £72M star at Chelsea
According to reports, Mauricio Pochettino told the CHELSEA board that Kepa will remain his starting goalkeeper for the upcoming campaign.
Following his record-breaking £72 million transfer from Athletic Bilbao in 2018, Spain international Arrizabalaga has had a rocky time at Stamford Bridge and has been in and out of the lineup.
Over the past year, he has been given a new lease on life at Stamford Bridge, but that hasn’t stopped the rumors from swirling around the club that Chelsea are willing to let him go.
Kepa Arrizabalaga, though, is expected to continue serving as Chelsea’s first-choice goalkeeper because incoming manager Mauricio Pochettino wants the Spaniard to remain at Stamford Bridge, according to Sky Sports.
Kepa is a very capable goalkeeper who, by this stage, ought to be among the best in the world, but he isn’t and he keeps making errors that are losing the team crucial points.
We concur with the rumors, and the team should make a profit while they still can by trying to sign a goalie of higher caliber who will matter in close games.
However, we are confident that it will happen if Pochettino wants to give him an opportunity in the team for the upcoming season because the board will want to keep the new manager pleased.
Some prominent stars are still rumored to be interested in moving to Stamford Bridge, but if CHELSEA can save some money by giving Kepa a genuine chance in the starting lineup, that may be a very wise move.
