Maurizio Sarri is considering a move for Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrazabalaga.
Now the boss of Lazio in Serie A, Sarri is in the market for a new goalkeeper with current incumbent Pepe Raina coming towards the end of his career at the age of 39 years old.
Kepa became the most expensive goalkeeper in the world when he joined Chelsea form Athletic Bilbao in 2018, but the move to Stamford Bridge has not worked out as well as either play or club would have wanted and he is now number two behind Édouard Mendy.
Kepa played under Sarri during their time together at Chelsea, although their relationship was not always harmonious. The Italian raged at the Spaniard when he refused to be substituted during eh 2019 League Cup Final.
They patched things up, however, and they concluded the season by winning the Europa League together in Baku, beating Arsenal in the final.
