Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa: I wanted to work with Sarri

Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga is delighted with the way he's kicked off his Premier League career.

The Spain international arrived in the summer from Athletic Bilbao as the richest goalkeeper transfer in the game.

Kepa said, "It's normal that when someone pays that amount, they all talk about your transfer. You have to show your value but I do not focus on my price, I just try to do my job.

"I am really grateful for Maurizio Sarri's trust in me. Obviously, he was essential for me to join the club. I'm really comfortable with the way he likes to play, I'm so happy and grateful."
