Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa talks up Real Madrid stay

Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga says he wants to stay long-term with Real Madrid.

Kepa is on-loan at Real to the end of the season.

He said, "After what happened last summer I don't want to start thinking in October about what could happen in July. But what I can say is that I am very happy. Of course, I will not lack work and enthusiasm and I will try to help make Madrid's history even greater and enjoy every minute, every game to the fullest.

"I like the pressure of playing for Madrid, in stadiums like the Bernabéu. It is not the same to play for Madrid as it is for another team. Here you experience the game in a different way because you are going to intervene in one or two actions, but you have to measure up in those moments.

"I agree that I have to improve, because I believe in constant improvement. I analyze myself and see myself after each game and I analyze every play, every detail. Obviously I have to improve in everything, try to improve every day, constantly. There are streaks, and there are matches with certain actions and in others there are different ones. You have to adapt, work and improve performance."
