Serie A club make loan offer for Kepa as Edouard Mendy seals Chelsea switch

Chelsea have reportedly received a loan offer for Kepa Arrizabalaga from a club in Italy.

The Spain international has been criticized for his recent displays between the sticks as Chelsea shipped in unprecedented 54 goals last season.

Football insider ExWHYemployee, as cited by the Express, revealed Chelsea have the chance to offload the struggling star.

He tweeted: “Chelsea news: A club from Italy has submitted a loan move for Kepa.

“Although it is not confirmed, the club is thought to be Roma.”

Kepa added another howler to his tally as he gifted Sadio Mane his goal during the 2-0 defeat to Liverpool.

And his No1 spot is in doubt following the arrival of Edouard Mendy from Rennes.

The 28-year-old moves to Stamford Bridge on a five-year deal for a fee believed to be in the region of £22million.
