Cesar Azpilicueta has warned Kepa Arrizabalaga that life as a footballer is “not a bed of roses”, but the Chelsea captain sees his fellow Spaniard clearing “bumps” at Stamford Bridge to become an important figure for the Blues.
The most expensive goalkeeper in world football is currently a £71 million ($99m) back-up option in west London, with a series of costly errors leading the Blues to invest again in Edouard Mendy.
Kepa has seen sporadic game time since Thomas Tuchel succeeded Frank Lampard as manager, but his skipper believes a return to form and favour can be achieved.
