Chelsea ready to sell their record signing in summer
Chelsea are willing to part ways with shot-stopper Kepa Arrizabalaga in the January transfer market. This According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
He has failed to live up to the reputation as the world’s most expensive stopper. A slew of mistakes saw his place in the team come into question the last campaign.
Having failed to improve this time around, the Blues made the decision to bring in Rennes keeper Edouard Mendy.
The Senegalese star has hit the ground running and is now the first choice shot-stopper at the club. Arrizabalaga appears to have come to terms with the current pecking order at Stamford Bridge.
According to the report, the star believes leaving Chelsea in the January transfer market could help him garner the playing time he seeks.
It was reported earlier that the Spain international was ready to take a pay cut in order to complete a move. He acknowledges he must be playing senior team football to stand any hope of making it to Spain’s Euro 2020 roster.
He dreams of playing in his country’s group game against Slovakia at the home of former side Athletic Bilbao in June. This dream could remain unfulfilled if the struggling player continues to languish on the Blues bench.
While the former Athletic Bilbao ace may have spoken of staying and fighting for his spot, Eduoard does not appear any closer to relinquishing his spot. With the Euros nearing, a transfer away, even if it is on loan, could be the best solution for him.
