Kepa Arrizabalaga: Last News

Chelsea set up a home FA Cup quarter-final with Sheffield United as they scraped past Championship side Barnsley.It was not the best performance from a much-changed Blues with Thomas Tuchel making ten alterations to his starting line-up.Barnsley put the pressure on from the start though could not find a way past the recalled Kepa Arrizabalaga.Without VAR, Chelsea would have been frustrated not to be awarded a penalty, though they may have also been fortunate for their opener.Tammy Abraham could well have been offside when slotting home though the flag stayed down - not that Tuchel will mind.

Chelsea take on Barnsley in the FA Cup with Thomas Tuchel believing the Spaniard can turn around his situation at the Blues.Kepa has struggled at Stamford Bridge and was replaced by Edouard Mendy in the summer.That was under Frank Lampard though Tuchel has stuck with the new signing since taking over last month.But with the FA Cup comes a chance to mix things up with Tuchel giving Kepa an opportunity to impress in the fifth round of the competition.And having seen Kepa be frozen out by Lampard, Tuchel is confident the former Athletic Bilbao man can turn his fortunes around.Tuchel said: “From outside, of course we had a view on his situation and some difficulties on the sporting side.“Maybe, also, the circumstances of his transfer are a

Chelsea manager Frank Lampard's reaction to Kepa Arrizabalaga’s latest howler speak volumes about the sort of boss he is.

Chelsea fans have dubbed goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga "totally s***" after his howler in the FA Cup clash with Luton.The Blues went into the break of the fourth-round tie without a clean sheet, with the Championship side grabbing a goal to be 2-1 behind.With Tammy Abraham grabbing two in the first 20 minutes, full-back James Bree floated a cross into the penalty box from the right.Jordan Clark managed to get his foot to it for a low driven shot, which was aimed at Kepa. But the Spaniard, the £72million shot-stopper who had suffered a tough season, let the ball slip underneath him and roll agonisingly into the back of the net.

Chelsea doesn’t look to be improving. Although the Spaniard did keep a clean sheet in the comfortable victory over Morecambe on Sunday at Stamford Bridge, the away side were given confidence after what was almost an early blunder.The 26-year-old, who was making his 100th appearance for the club he joined for a record fee back in 2018, almost carried a cross over his own line with the score still level.Following the incident, as well as his poor recent form, the away substitutes and staff were given a boost.

Chelsea are preparing for a busy December full of fixtures but January promises to be as hectic too.

Chelsea has received some serious plaudits. Barring an error of judgement to let Patrick Bamford round him and score in the Blues most recent match against Leeds, Mendy has been solid.The 28-year-old arrived in the summer from Rennes for £22million and immediately took Kepa Arrizabalaga's No.1 spot.The world's most expensive keeper continued to make mistakes, sometimes costing Chelsea matches, and is now out of the team.

Chelsea are “still interested” in a £27m goalkeeper transfer – despite bringing in Edouard Mendy over the summer. The Blues were left with a big problem to solve when £72m shot-stopper Kepa Arrizabalaga made a disastrous start to the 2020/21 campaign.

Chelsea nightmare, it's been claimed. The world' most expensive goalkeeper has endured a torrid time at Stamford Bridge over the last few months, making a series of high-profile errors.The Spaniard's last howler came in Chelsea's 3-3 draw with Southampton last month, in which the former Atheltic Bilbao stopper gifted Saints their second goal of the game with a poor clearance.Kepa's capitulation over the last few months prompted the west Londoners to acquire the services of Edouard Mendy from Rennes and look for suitors for the Spain international.The 26-year-old's wages, however, put a host of clubs off from signing him on loan.But the keeper's fall down the Spanish pecking order has now made him consider leaving Stamford Bridge.

Premier League season so far, averaging more than three goals in each fixture as attacking players run riot. That has given goalkeepers at each of the 20 clubs plenty of opportunity to showcase their talent, with David de Gea of Manchester United, Kepa Arrizabalaga of Chelsea and Alisson of Liverpool struggling.

Chelsea's goalkeeper wishlist this summer and highlighted his main strength. Frank Lampard authorised the signing after the poor form of Kepa Arrizabalaga.

Chelsea if called upon after earning a shock place in Frank Lampard’s Premier League this season.Blues fans were left baffled when technical and performance advisor Cech, who won four Premier League titles and the Champions League in 11 years as a goalkeeper at Stamford Bridge, was named in their 25-man squad for the 2020/21 campaign.The legendary shot-stopper retired after finishing the 2018/19 season with Arsenal, before returning to Chelsea in a technical capacity last year to assist former team-mate Lampard.However, after training alongside current goalkeepers Edouard Mendy and Kepa Arrizabalaga at Cobham, Cech is ready to return in goal if required.“It’s true that it would have been a professional error to do this if I wasn’t at

Petr Cech could be coming out of retirement - at the age of 38.

Chelsea could be set to rake in up to £50m in January if Frank Lampard sells the players that he wants to.The Blues boss was a busy man during the summer transfer window and it could be a similar story when the market reopens.Though focus is expected to be on raising some funds with Lampard having strengthened his squad with a number of signings during the summer.Stamford Bridge chiefs are believed to be eager to move on some players as soon as they can with January the earliest opportunity.And football.london have added up expected market fees and worked out that Chelsea could raise £50m by selling Marcos Alonso, Emerson Palmieri, Kepa Arrizabalaga and Baba Rahman.The outlet has used market valuations from transfermarkt with the Blues

Chelsea have too many weak links to be Premier League title challengers this season. That is the view of former Blues forward Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, who has picked out Kepa Arrizabalaga as one reason why they won’t be at the top of the table by the end of the season.However, the former Netherlands international seemed to forget about the recent addition of Edouard Mendy, who kept a clean sheet in the victory over Crystal Palace before the international break.Following that positive result, Chelsea gave away a two-goal lead to draw against Southampton.“No, Chelsea are not contenders [for the title],” Hasselbaink told Sky Sports.“They are leaking too many goals.

*If bonuses are met"I talked about Kepa before, and it wasn't just his fault in the goal," Lampard said. "Mendy is injured and could be fit in the next week or two weeks then it will be my choice."Although Lampard doesn't hold Kepa solely responsible for Adams' goal, he wants the former Athletic Bilbao man to be strong enough to take the criticism that comes his way."He has to be strong enough, that is what it is like in elite sport and goalkeepers have to deal with that," the Blues boss said."He will have the support of myself and his teammates.

Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga made his third error leading directly to a goal in as many league appearances this season, with the Spaniard and defender Kurt Zouma at fault for Southampton 's second goal in their clash.

Frank Lampard has confirmed Thiago Silva and Edouard Mendy will not feature for Chelsea in their Premier League clash with Southampton on Saturday.
