Kai Havertz: Frank Lampard 'desperate' to sign player says expert
Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga is not good enough for the Blues and Frank Lampard will want to get rid of him as soon as possible, according to Arsenal legend Ian Wright. Arrizabalaga remains the most expensive goalkeeper of all time following his £71.6million move to Chelsea from Athletic Bilbao in 2018. However, the Spain international has failed to adhere himself to both the Blues supporters and head coach Lampard.
"The mere fact that he would drop Kepa with what Kepa' cost - he made mistakes where he deserved to be dropped - and bring in Willy Caballero, who I believe is not a very good No 2, it says everything to me.
"They'd probably get rid of him if they could but I'm not sure who would take him now."

Meanwhile, Wright is concerned Chelsea could attempt to sign Arsenal goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez.
Martinez has been in fine form while deputising for the injured Bernd Leno for the Gunners.
Wright added: "What frightens me is you look at someone like Frank and you look at what Chelsea's doing, you just say to yourself: 'Do you know something? Can we prise him away?'.
"This is what worries me, simply because you look at what he's done and how he plays, he is better than Kepa now.

"I think he's probably better than Bernd Leno if I'm going to be totally honest, from what I've seen. I'd be gutted [if Martinez left].
"To be honest I don't want Bernd to go but what I'm saying about [Martinez] is we've got to be very careful with him because if Bernd does come back, he's now played in a situation where he's played fantastically, he's been brilliant, and he's probably got the taste for that now, so why would you want to go back to being a No 2 and not playing?"
