Lazio manager Sarri pushing forward with plans for Chelsea keeper Kepa

Lazio manager Maurizio Sarri wants to be reunited with Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga.

The pair famously fought over Kepa's substitution during the Carabao Cup final loss to Manchester City, with the Spaniard refusing to be replaced with Willy Caballero.

But their disagreement has been long forgetting and Football Italia says Sarri wants Kepa to join him at the Stadio Olimpico.

Kepa is desperate to leave Chelsea after serving as back-up for Edouard Mendy over the past 18 months.

Lazio believe an initial loan deal would be the most realistic outcome.
