REVEALED: Furious Chelsea owner Abramovich wanted Kepa sold

Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga could yet be sold after his Wembley revolt, it has been claimed.

El Confidencial says Blues owner Roman Abramovich was so furious with Kepa's actions during the Carabao Cup final defeat to Manchester City that he has demanded his sale.

Abramovich was fuming after seeing Kepa defy manager Maurizio Sarri and told directors to transfer-list him for the summer market.

The goalkeeper only moved to Chelsea last summer from Athletic Bilbao and is regarded as the club's outright No1 by Sarri.

For his part, the Italian has stated the issue is now over and he's happy to go forward with Kepa.
