Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga wanted by Valencia in loan transfer after being dropped by boss Frank Lampard

KEPA ARRIZABALAGA could reportedly be offered an escape route out of Chelsea by Valencia.
The 25-year-old became the world’s most-expensive goalkeeper when the Blues forked out £71.4million to sign him from Athletic Bilbao in 2018.
But he has fallen out of favour under Frank Lampard this campaign with Chelsea possibly looking to offload him once the transfer window re-opens.
And now claim LaLiga’s Valencia want the Spaniard on loan.
The stopper is viewed as an ideal replacement for Jasper Cillessen, who is being linked with a move away from the Mestalla.
Speculation is mounting that the Dutch keeper could be heading back to former club Ajax.
However, the same report also states a potential deal would also depend on Chelsea bringing in Ajax's Andre Onana before they would entertain allowing Kepa to depart.
