Chelsea ready to sell Kepa this summer

Chelsea are ready to sell Kepa Arrizabalaga this summer.

The London Evening Standard says the £71million goalkeeper has rebuilt his confidence under Thomas Tuchel but the European champions believe that has boosted their chances of getting a significant fee for him.

Edouard Mendy remains first choice and there are no plans to displace the Senegal international even after Kepa's recent form.

Chelsea are anticipating bids at the end of the season, with the expectation the 27-year-old will want to secure regular first team football ahead of the World Cup in Qatar.

He would have been allowed to leave last summer but a lack of bids and Chelsea's refusal to let him go out on loan or leave as a free agent saw him remain as Mendy's understudy.
