Chelsea has spent big this summer to overhaul the squad and thus brought enforcements that cost around 250 million euros. Chelsea coach Frank Lampard has still not closed his account book as he needs to balance the net cost.
Reconstruction of the whole squad was backed by the owner, Abramovich because Frank Lampard desires to be in the Premier League title race in this season. Although they started their new campaign good by beating Brighton 3-1 but failed to earn any point as Liverpool defeated them 2-0.
Their defeat against Liverpool cleared that Lampard’s new side is still not ready to compete against the defending champions. The match also confirmed one thing that Chelsea cannot rely on the underperformed Spaniard keeper, Kepa Arrizabalaga.
His back to back mistakes in two matches has made Chelsea concede goals but in the Liverpool match, it has cost the team heavily.
According to reports, the imminent arrival of Senegal goalkeeper Edouard Mendy has made the coach take a decision to offload Kepa. The board has decided to send Kepa on loan and is in search of clubs that might be interested in the expensive keeper.
“For me, the main thing that gets a player through a lack of confidence is hard work. Head down, no blame game, look at yourself, see how you can get better. Those are the rules for every player,” Frank Lampard said.
Edouard Mendy has started training with Petr Cech but he won’t feature for Chelsea so soon after signing a five-year contract with Chelsea.
