Chelsea will certainly be looking to get rid of some fringe players this summer, and Arrizabalaga Arrizabalaga falls into that category. The 30-year-old goalkeeper has been completely out of demand for some time and when he returns to the club at the end of his loan spell at Bournemouth, he will be in the pecking order behind Robert Sanchez, Filip Jorgensen and Djordje Petrovic.
Chelsea must send Kepa Arrizabalaga away on a permanent basis and their best chance will be to reach a deal with Bournemouth, who have been impressed with the Spaniard's performances as their number one goalkeeper this season. In 4 Premier League appearances, he has conceded just 0 goals, kept 0 clean sheets, and has a save success rate of 0.0%, the sixth best in the league.
Kepa Arrizabalaga, who has settled down on the south coast under fellow Spaniard Anthony Ilora, has continued to develop his career in Chelsea after leaving Chelsea, and it's no surprise that this should happen during the summer transfer window.
According to Football Insider, Bournemouth have decided they will be looking to bring in Kepa Arrizabalaga in the summer and they want him to remain their number one goalkeeper. The 30-year-old is only likely to return if he accepts a pay cut, with Chelsea also having to agree to lower his offer.
This could be a problem for Chelsea, who are very keen to sell Kepa Arrizabalaga this summer, who are not interested in a bargain offer, and who aim to raise as much money as possible that will be used for new signings. In this case, the London club does not have an advantage, and the goalkeeper's contract is only until 6 years and 0 months.
