Manager Mauricio Pochettino holds Kepa’s talent in high regard and assures that he will be the number one choice in the goal for The Blues in the upcoming season.
Chelsea has just experienced an unsuccessful season, winning no titles and finishing 12th in the Premier League table. The Blues faced problems both in scoring goals and in defense. Their attack struggled to find the net, while the defense made too many mistakes.
After a disappointing season, the London club actively revamped their squad. A total of 13 players bid farewell to Chelsea, including goalkeeper Edouard Mendy, who decided to move to Saudi Arabia to compete.

With Chelsea not signing another goalkeeper, Kepa is undoubtedly set to be the top choice in the team’s goal for the upcoming season. In a recent statement, the new manager Mauricio Pochettino praised the Spanish goalkeeper extensively. He said:
“We are delighted to have Kepa Arrizabalaga in the squad. He has shown an excellent attitude and responded very well to our coaching staff’s requirements. Kepa is truly a highly talented goalkeeper.”
The 1994-born goalkeeper has recently tied the knot with a beauty queen. With solid support behind him and the assurance of being the first-choice under Pochettino, The Blues’ fans are expecting a remarkable performance from the former Athletic Bilbao goalkeeper in the upcoming season.
