Sarri keen on Kepa reunion

A fresh report has claimed that Maurizio Sarri wants to reunite with Chelsea’s Kepa Arrizabalaga this summer, according to Thesun.

The Spanish stopper was brought to Stamford Bridge by the Italian back in 2018 for £71.6million from Athletic Bilbao.

Now Sarri, who is in charge of Lazio back in his Italian homeland, wants to sign him on a season-long loan.

Speculation has been rife for several months that the Serie A side were plotting a move for the goalkeeper.

However, a deal failed to materialise during the January transfer window.

But Corriere dello Sport now claims that Sarri will attempt to get Kepa this summer on a season-long loan – despite the pair’s infamous Wembley fall-out.

Back in February 2019 in the Carabao Cup Final, the duo were caught in an astonishing on-field row that left Sarri absolutely raging.

The Italian gaffer wanted to bring his keeper off the field after he went down with cramp just minutes before Chelsea’s Carabao Cup Final penalty shootout defeat to Manchester City.
