Chelsea 'to sign new goalkeeper even if Kepa Arrizabalaga stays'

Frank Lampard intends to bring in a new goalkeeper this summer regardless of whether Chelsea find a buyer for Kepa Arrizabalaga, according to a report.

Chelsea are reportedly planning to sign a new goalkeeper this summer even if Kepa Arrizabalaga remains at Stamford Bridge.

Blues boss Frank Lampard is believed to be looking to offload Kepa and bring in a new first-choice stopper in time for next season.

The Spain international joined Chelsea in a record £71m transfer for a keeper in August 2018 but has failed to win over Lampard, who succeeded Maurizio Sarri last year.

Finding a buyer for Kepa is proving a struggle but, according to The Telegraph, Lampard will push ahead and bring in a new keeper regardless.

Chelsea are said to be eyeing Atletico Madrid's Jan Oblak, although his release clause is set at £109m, while Manchester United's Dean Henderson is another - cheaper - option.

Kepa has kept eight clean sheets in the Premier League for Chelsea this season - seven fewer than Burnley's Nick Pope, who is leading the way in the race for the Golden Glove.
