Chelsea keeper Kepa: Of course I want to play more...

Kepa Arrizabalaga has admitted he wants more playing time at Chelsea.

The Blues number two goalkeeper was given a start in the Carabao Cup against Southampton on Tuesday, producing a match-winning performance in a penalty shootout victory.

Asked about his situation, Kepa said: "Of course I want to play more regularly.

"My last game was also a cup game, more or less a month ago, so it's not easy to sometimes step in and feel the same as you would if you play every week, but I try to be ready, train hard, be involved in the team.

"Also, I feel the confidence of the manager. This is really important. I've felt his support from the beginning and I think when I step in I'm ready to help the team. I'm happy to do that."
