Chelsea keeper Kepa lays out long-term Real Madrid plans

Spanish shot stopper Kepa Arrizabalaga has made it clear he does not want to come back to Chelsea.

The goalkeeper has signed for Real Madrid on a season-long loan deal, which he hopes will become permanent.

Even if Kepa is not picked up by Real for the long-term, he wants another transfer, as he has no desire to play for Chelsea anymore.

“I really hope Real Madrid will keep me at the end of the season," Kepa said to reporters.

“The decision has been very easy," Kepa said.

“I had other important offers but Real Madrid is Real Madrid. When Real Madrid wanted me everything was clear.

He added: “Spanish players always talk about Real Madrid during the international break. Everything about this club is spectacular."
