Chelsea shot-stopper emerges as a loan target for Lazio

Chelsea shot-stopper has reportedly as a loan target for Serie A club Lazio who are now under the charge of ex-Blues manager Maurizio Sarri.

Kepa has played second fiddle to Senegal international Edouard Mendy between the goalposts at Stamford Bridge with the latter firming his berth on the starting team sheet for Thomas Tuchel’s men.

According to reports from the Spanish news outlet AS, it is claimed that the Blues are willing to offload the Spanish goalkeeper at the turn of the year when the transfer window reopens.

Leading the pack of clubs credited with an interest in signing the Chelsea flop record signing are Italian heavyweights Lazio who are looking to bring in Kepa on a loan arrangement despite doubts over his salary demands.

Kepa’s wages are in the region of £6m-per year which would make things difficult on the transfer front for Maurizio Sarri’s Lazio as it remains to be seen whether the player will agree to a salary cut in order to force through an exit from Chelsea.
