Chelsea could be pressuring manager Thomas Tuchel to give Kepa Arrizabalaga more game time.

The Spanish keeper is second choice behind Edouard Mendy.

However, Tuchel gave him a Premier League chance in the 2-0 win over Newcastle United on Monday.

And the Daily Mirror has claimed there may be pressure from the club's hierarchy to involve Kepa a little more.

The club wants to raise his transfer value so they can negotiate a sale in the summer.

The Blues broke a world-record when they paid £71m to sign Kepa from Athletic Bilbao in 2018.

But things have not worked out for the 26-year-old, with Tuchel confirming he would be sticking with Mendy as his number one.
