Former Athletic Bilbao goalkeeper coach Imanol Etxeberria insists Kepa Arrizabalaga can still bounce back at Chelsea.

The Spain keeper appears on his way out at Chelsea after two seasons following his axing for the FA Cup final defeat to Arsenal.

But Imanol, who worked with Kepa at Athletic, told Mundo Deportivo: "It usually happens, these things with star signings ... Many times they depend on the result of the team and not the personnel. It is a bit reliant on the team, if it reaps good results, everything goes more unnoticed. And, if it is the other way around, they start looking at you with a magnifying glass, they question everything, the weird questions start already ... What happens to this man, what is not happening to him ...

"Kepa has amply demonstrated at Athletic, in the Spanish team and in his first year at Chelsea that he is a guaranteed goalkeeper, of a high level. But hey, I don't know, you have to be there within the team and know the information that the coach uses to make those decisions. From the outside, we can only express our opinion by what we see."
