Chelsea seek to replace Kepa Arrizabalaga with Mike Maignan

Chelsea have identified Mike Maignan as their number one target to replace the underwhelming Kepa Arrizabalaga. (h/t Metro)

Kepa Arrizabalaga has failed to live up to expectations following his world-record £71.6 million transfer. Frank Lampard seems to have lost his patience and has instructed Chelsea’s board to offload the 25-year-old at the end of the season (h/t Metro).

Reserve keeper Willy Caballero replaced the Spaniard in the 2-2 draw at Crystal Palace last weekend.

Maignan moved to Lille from Paris Saint-Germain in 2015. The 24-year-old has established himself as a regular for Les Dogues and has made 127 appearances for the club. (h/t Whoscored)

Kepa has been disappointing for Chelsea this season

Chelsea have already been linked with the likes of Burnley’s Nick Pope and Crystal Palace’s Vicente Guaita. (h/t Metro)

The Blues have a good relationship with Lille, following the transfers of Joe Cole, Solomon Kalou and Eden Hazard. It could help ease negotiations between the clubs for the goalkeeper (h/t Metro).

Chelsea showed a lot of faith in Kepa by making him the most expensive goalkeeper ever. The Spaniard has had moments of brilliance but has largely failed to repay the faith shown in him.

His antics such as refusing to come off in the Carabao Cup final last season does not hold him in a good light.

If there isn’t a sudden upturn in his form, his days at Chelsea could be numbered.
