A new goalkeeper is one of Chelsea's main transfer priorities for the summer with Kepa Arrizabalaga and Edouard Mendy both struggling to firmly lock down the number one spot in between the sticks. Mendy was the favoured option under Thomas Tuchel, but his performances have dropped in recent months with Kepa benefitting from his dip in form and the arrival of Graham Potter.
With Kepa the only available option due to an injury suffered by Mendy, the Spaniard started Potter's debut match in charge and since then has only missed two Premier League games. He then picked up his own injury in the 4-1 defeat to Brighton, with Mendy then back in the team for both 1-0 defeats suffered by the Blues to Newcastle and Arsenal before the World Cup.
Kepa's injury was serious enough to leave him out of Spain's squad for the tournament in Qatar but by Boxing Day, Chelsea's first game back against Bournemouth, he was available again. From the eight games played since the 2-0 win over the Cherries, Kepa has kept four league clean sheets, with three of those arriving in the last few weeks.
