Kepa: I chose to stay with Chelsea out of loyalty

Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga admits he had offers to leave this past summer.

Napoli made an attempt for the Spain international, but Kepa eventually chose to remain.

"I had opportunities to leave Chelsea this summer - there were things, but the club has always given me their trust, they have always wanted me to be part of the squad," Kepa told El Larguero.

"We analysed it and I am happy to stay and be at this fantastic club."

Kepa became the most expensive goalkeeper in history when Chelsea signed him in the summer of 2018 from Athletic Bilbao for €80m.
