Kepa Arrizabalaga responds to Chelsea exit link and Frank Lampard rumours

Kepa Arrizabalaga is confident he still has the full backing of Frank Lampard. The Spaniard was linked with a move away from Chelsea. Reports have claimed that Lampard wants to sell the 25-year-old in the next transfer window. Before the coronavirus pandemic halted the season, Kepa had been left on the bench in five of Chelsea’s last seven matches, with Lampard opting to play Willy Caballero instead. "We play 50 or 60 games a year and it is difficult to stay on the same level," Kepa said in an interview with Marca. "The important thing is to be very clear about the objective, to work and put everything into improving. There may be obstacles along the way, but when you have a clear objective, it is easier. The only thing that can be done, in these cases, is to take it professionally, respectfully and work harder to turn it around." Kepa is adamant that Chelsea and Lampard still have faith in him. "The relationship with Frank is very good," said Kepa. "He has shown me confidence from the first moment. ‘He must make decisions, but I feel I have his confidence, both his and that of the whole club. We all like to play in every game. It is true that, in the last 10 years, Chelsea is the English team that has won the most titles, and I think we should have that ambition. "In fact, I came here for that and in the first season we already achieved the Europa League. We have a young team. Then came the penalty of not signing players [the transfer ban] but you have to keep fighting for titles. I want to win everything with Chelsea and with the national team."
