Maurizio Sarri's Lazio 'looking to sign Chelsea Kepa Arrizabalaga on loan' despite goalkeeper refusing to be substituted in 2019 Carabao Cup final

Lazio manager Maurizio Sarri is reportedly looking to sign Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalga on a one-year loan.

As reported by La Repubblica, Lazio want to strike a deal that would see them pay 50 per cent of Kepa's wages.

Kepa clashed with Sarri when the latter was in charge of Chelsea in the 2019 Carabao Cup final against Manchester City, with the shot-stopper refusing to be substituted despite suffering with cramp.
