Kepa insists he wants Chelsea stay; denies Lampard rift

Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga insists he was always committed to Stamford Bridge.

Kepa struggled under former manager Frank Lampard, but appears have been granted a clean slate by current boss Thomas Tuchel.

He told El Partidazo de Cope: "With Lampard there has been no problem, perhaps I have not been able to give my best version. Our relationship has been correct, of respect, although I have not played as much as I wanted.

"I have not considered leaving. When I lost ownership, I didn't start to think further. I want to play here. I feel supported by the club and I think I have shown that I can play. I want to turn the situation around and look to the future. I want to feel important again."
