Tuchel speaks on Kepa’s future at Chelsea

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel in a statement spoke on Kepa Arrizabalaga’s future at the club.

This comes as Kepa’s future remains the subject of speculation as he has struggled for game time this season, with only four league appearances to his name.

Tuchel said he knows that the Spaniard has been frustrated by his irregular playing time as Edouard Mendy has been the Blues’ first choice goalie.

‘It depends what he wants and what his plans are,’ said Tuchel on Kepa’s future while speaking in his final pre-match press conference of the season.

‘I know that we are very privileged to have Edou and Kepa in our squad but I also know for sure that Kepa is not happy about the situation because he deserved to play more and he can be a very strong number one. He arrived as a number one so the situation is not easy. He has been a fantastic team player since day one and never let anybody down.

Tuchel revealed he is yet to hold conversations on the future with Kepa, adding that the Blues would take time to reflect on what’s best and what the possibilities are for him.
