Chelsea line up shock £15m swoop for Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper Roman Burki as replacement for out-of-favour Kepa Arrizabalaga

Chelsea are ready to make a surprise £15million move for Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper Roman Burki, according to The Sun.

The Blues are considering their options to replace out-of-favour Kepa Arrizabalaga at Stamford Bridge.

And Chelsea are banking on a cut-price deal for the 29-year-old, who only has one year left on his contract.

Blues boss Frank Lampard is believed to be open to selling the Spain international, who arrived as Thibaut Courtois' replacement following a £72million move from Athletic Bilbao in 2018.

However, despite having established himself as first-choice goalkeeper, 38-year-old Willy Caballero replaced Kepa between the sticks for Chelsea during a run of six matches in January and February, including crucial games against Leicester, Manchester United , Tottenham and Bayern Munich .
