Chelsea get serious about Lille keeper Maignan as Kepa replacement

Chelsea are considering a move for Lille goalkeeper Mike Maignan, according to reports.

The 25-year-old was an ever-present figure for Lille last season, making 37 across all competitions.

Frank Lampard is looking at a replacement for Kepa Arrizabalaga after the Spaniard's poor season.

And the Englishman is seriously considering Maignan to become his new number one, per Sky Sports.

It is believed Lille would demand at least €30m for the Frenchman.

Maignan came through the ranks at PSG and has represented France at every level from U16 to U21 level.
