Frank Lampard loses faith in Kepa Arrizabalaga

Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has reportedly given up on goalkeeper Kepar Arrizabalaga, with the Spaniard continuing to make poor choices between the sticks for the Stamford Bridge outfit.

Kepa arrived at Chelsea in the summer of 2018 for £71.6 million -- a world-record fee for a goalkeeper. However, the 25 year old has endured a torrid time in goal for the Blues and has been guilty of a number of high-profile mistakes.

Kepa is on course to equal Chelsea's worst defensive record in the Premier League era should he fail to keep a clean sheet in the final game of the season against Wolves.

According to ESPN, Lampard had started to lose patience in the Spaniard as early as in the first half of the season, and the former Athletic Bilbao man has not done much to quell these thoughts of his manager.

Chelsea have been heavily linked with a move for a world-class keeper as they aim to rectify the goalkeeping situation ahead of next season. It would be impossible for Chelsea to recoup the world-record fee that they paid for Kepa, and a loan deal looks most likely.

The Blues have been linked with Jan Oblak, Marc-Andre ter Stegen, and Dean Henderson in recent weeks.

Kai Havertz keen on Chelsea transfer despite returning to Leverkusen training

Kai Havertz is still keen on a move to Chelsea despite returning to training for Bayer Leverkusen as the Bundesliga side starts their preparations for the Europa League campaign. The German forward has been heavily linked with a move to Chelsea, with reports even claiming that the 21 year old has agreed personal terms with the Blues.

According to Sky Sports, Havertz has informed the Bundesliga outfit that he wants to leave and the club have accepted this and are willing to let him go. Leverkusen were said to be holding out for a fee of £90 million, but a deal in the range of £70 million plus add-ons looks likely to be finalized soon.
