Chelsea goalie linked to the French Ligue 1

Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga may be on his way out of the club this summer window.

This comes as French Ligue 1 side Nice have shown interest to sign Kepa from Chelsea this summer.

Kepa 27-year-old has lost his place at Chelsea following the arrival of Edouard Mendy, to whom he has become a backup option for Thomas Tuchel.

The Spaniard made only 15 appearances in all competitions for the Blues last season.

According to Foot Mercato, Nice are lining up a loan offer for Arrizabalaga as they look to replace former number-one stopper Walter Benitez, who has joined PSV Eindhoven.

The report added that Nice would be able to offer Arrizabalaga regular first-team football, which is what he craves for as he hopes to boost his chances of representing Spain at the 2022 World Cup.

Kepa, who has not represented his country since July 2020, may need to take a pay cut if he is to move to France this summer, as he is currently earning around £150,000 per week at Stamford Bridge.

However, aside from Nice Serie A side Lazio, who are managed by former Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri, have shown interest in Kepa and want to sign him this summer.
