Deal close: Chelsea board want 24-year-old to replace Kepa Arrizabalaga

According to a report in England, Chelsea are lining up a swoop to sign Ajax goalkeeper Andre Onana as a replacement for Kepa Arrizabalaga in the summer transfer window.

The Mirror, as quoted by the Express, is reporting that the Blues are considering a bid for the Cameroon international to replace Kepa this summer following the Spaniard’s inconsistent Premier League campaign.

The same article states that Chelsea could face competition from Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain in the race to sign the 24-year-old from the Dutch side.

According to the same story, the Blues would have to pay around £30m to sign Onana from Ajax this summer given his continued importance to the Eredivisie outfit.

The Express go on to cite a report in Marca that suggests Valencia could look to sign Kepa on loan for two seasons this summer to end their shot-stopper’s spell at west London.

The report suggests that Valencia would be willing to pay a substantial loan fee for Kepa that Chelsea FC could use towards signing a replacement for the goalkeeper.
