Cole questions whether Chelsea can find a buyer for Kepa

Chelsea great Ashley Cole has questioned whether they can find a buyer for Kepa Arrizabalaga.

The Spain goalkeeper faces being pushed out of Chelsea this summer after being overlooked for Saturday's FA Cup final defeat to Arsenal.

But Cole believes they may struggle to sell him for anywhere near the same £71.6million price tag they bought him for in 2018.

Speaking on the BBC ahead of the final, Chelsea youth coach Cole said: "It's tough, that price tag on him, it's very high, so what do you do?

"I can't see there being too many buyers, not for his quality, but for that price."

The Daily Mail says the Blues are unwilling to listen to any offers under £50million for the goalkeeper, who didn't play in the final Premier League game of the season in which Chelsea secured Champions League qualification.
