A loan move to Napoli is one of the options on the table for Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga, according to reports.

The Spain international is out of favour at Stamford Bridge, with Édouard Mendy the undisputed No. 1 for manager, Thomas Tuchel.

Marca report Kepa is seeking an opportunity for minutes next season ahead of the Qatar World Cup and among the better options on the table would be a season-long loan to Napoli.

Napoli saw first-choice Davide Ospina leave for Saudi Arabia side, Al Nassr and are likely in the market for a new goalkeeper.

Italy international Alex Meret is Napoli’s current No. 1 ahead of the new season but recent reports suggest he is keen to understand his place in manager Luciano Spalletti’s plans amid interest from Torino.

Kepa has made just 29 appearances in all competitions since Mendy’s arrival at Chelsea in 2020.

Kepa remains the world’s most-expensive goalkeeper, having joined Chelsea for €80 million and has 11 Spain caps.
