Chelsea 'line up Liverpool target Ugurcan Cakir as a replacement for Kepa Arrizabalaga' after former coach Eddie Newton sends rave reviews on Turkish stopper

Chelsea are reportedly keen on signing Liverpool target Ugurcan Cakir as a replacement for Kepa Arrizabalaga.

The world's most expensive keeper has lost his place to 38-year-old Willy Caballero in recent weeks and boss Frank Lampard is considering recommending the Blues sign a new No 1.

According to reports in Turkey, Trabzonspor goalkeeper Cakir is on Chelsea's radar as they begin to assess their options amid Kepa's poor run of form.
