Chelsea urged to cash in on £72million star as Todd Boehly eyes major first-team upgrade

Chelsea have been urged to sell Kepa Arrizabalaga in the summer transfer window after he was criticised for his performance in the 2-2 draw against Everton before the international break. The Blues signed the Spanish goalkeeper in a £72million deal from Athletic Bilbao back in 2018, but his career at Stamford Bridge has not quite gone to plan.

Since Graham Potter was appointed, Kepa has replaced Edouard Mendy as Chelsea's No.1 goalkeeper with the 31-year-old having only made a five appearances after losing his place to the Spaniard. Kepa has retained the position after being a regular prior to Mendy's arrival in 2020 and has kept 11 clean sheets in 26 games.

Potter may prefer Kepa over Mendy in his starting XI, but there remain concerns about the Spaniard's ability with Chelsea being rumoured to be interested in signing a new first choice goalkeeper this summer. Brentford's David Raya and Inter Milan's Andre Onana have both been linked with moves to Stamford Bridge ahead of next season.
