Kepa Arrizabalaga has been given a chance to prove himself this season at Chelsea and finally try and claim that number one spot in the team once and for all, but he hasn't taken the chance with both hands.

A couple of mistakes and less than convincing moments have led to frustration with the Spaniard, and there is a feeling that the club could let him leave this summer.

Chelsea do not feel the current wage he is on is a fair reflection of his quality in the team.

According to Nizaar Kinsella of the Evening Standard, Chelsea would let Kepa leave the club if a suitable offer came in for him this summer.

Kepa is currently on a wage of £190,000-a week and this is something Chelsea do not feel the player is worth.

Edouard Mendy wants to be paid similar to Kepa but Chelsea also don't believe Mendy is worth that amount of wages. There is a chance both keepers are allowed leave this summer.

David Raya is a goalkeeper Chelsea have a firm eye on but they have recently been strongly linked to Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili. Contact has been made but there is nothing advanced as of now.

It could be that Chelsea sign two goalkeepers this summer, or they will sign one and trust either Marcus Bettinelli or Gabriel Slonina to be the number two keeper for the season. A clear out expected at Chelsea, and both players could be part of it.
