The future for Kepa and Mendy does not look bright at Chelsea



Kepa Arrizabalaga experienced his share of difficulties after joining Chelsea in 2018, which led to his benching. The recruitment of Edourad Mendy by Frank Lampard, who took over as manager in 2020, appeared to be the deciding factor in the Spanish goalkeeper's Chelsea career.

CFC won the Champions League while Mendy was the first-choice keeper, and things appeared to be going well for the Senegalese keeper. However, Mendy lost favor shortly after Graham Potter became the Blues' manager, and Kepa Arrizabalaga once again became Chelsea's go-to shot blocker.

While the Spanish keeper now enjoys his spot as Chelsea’s No. 1, his performances have remained inconsistent. Due to this, the club is now actively searching for a new No. 1 to take position between the sticks for next season. The names of David Raya, Andre Onana, and Gregor Kobel are all linked with the London-based team. Among all the rumored names, Raya is the frontrunner to secure a spot between the sticks for Chelsea. His consistent performances for Brentford have earned him praise from around the continent, and many big clubs are eyeing the 27-year-old. The future for Kepa and Mendy does not look bright at Chelsea Despite making a place for himself as Chelsea’s current No. 1 keeper, the club might consider selling Kepa Arrizabalaga. If an offer worth the money comes in, the Blues might be tempted to sell the Spaniard. However, the club’s position on the player won’t be clear until the end of the current season. On the other hand, Mendy might now get his desired game time under interim manager Frank Lampard. But, while the manager favors the Senegalese native, the owners don’t think highly of him. As per reports, the Blues have paused contract negotiations with Mendy and have placed him on a below-market-rate deal that expires in 2025.

Pulisic went an unused substitute in the Blues win this past weekend, after having been left out of the team entirely the week before.   As we wrote last week, if Pulisic never plays for Chelsea again that would be just fine. So where can he go? The American is being strongly linked to Italy’s Serie A.  As you can see from the Tweet above, a former Chelsea forward who made the switch to AC Milan believes that his current side is the perfect place for Capt. America to go. “I think everyone would like it. He’s a big name in Europe, so that would help us,” said Giroud, who played with Pulisic at Chelsea. He is that kind of player with great skills, with great talent. He is a cheerful boy, always smiling. We laughed a lot with him. Our understanding on the pitch was also excellent, a bit like with Eden Hazard, ...

Finding methods to help Chelsea's goal-scoring problems is their top focus going into the summer transfer season. The next head coach will have a significant task to tackle once they are appointed because there are issues with both opportunity generation and finishing. Mauricio Pochettino is the undisputed favorite at this point in the game.London is aware that the former Tottenham manager is getting closer to accepting the position but has not yet done so. The lengthy wait is due to the hierarchy's use of a careful process to choose their next hire. Interim manager Frank Lampard has taken charge of the squad until the end of the season, allowing for a clean slate for the manager-in-waiting. With just one win in his tenure so far, the former midfielder was quite frank in his assessment of the assessment, saying last month: "Is there an issue with the balance of the squad? Maybe, yeah." As the club starts to plan for the future, it implies that some squad players who a...
