​Chelsea keeper Kepa 'cool, calm and collected' says Loftus-Cheek

Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga saw his life change when he was the subject of a world record bid in the summer.

He eventually arrived from Athletic Bilbao, despite a lack of recognition compared to the world's best goalkeepers.

But he has shown his quality in the Premier League so far. And teammate Ruben Loftus-Cheek believes Kepa is a very calm individual.

He told the Evening Standard: "I don't notice any thoughts [about Courtois or the fee] going through his head. He is so cool, calm and collected.

"At the training ground he just looks like he loves to play and is having fun. It is the best way to play football but credit to him — he does have a massive price tag and is doing so well."
