Nice 'looking to sign Chelsea outcast Kepa Arrizabalaga on loan' with Spanish stopper desperate for regular game time to win a World Cup spot after Edouard Mendy replaced him as first choice at Stamford Bridge

Nice 'are interested in signing Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga on loan' after the Spaniard fell out of favour at Stamford Bridge.

Kepa, 27, played just 15 times for the Blues last season having been supplanted by Edouard Mendy as the club's No 1 between the sticks.

This has had a knock-on effect on his international career with his last Spain appearance coming back in October 2020.

Kepa makes a save during a penalty shoot-out against Southampton in the Carabao Cup last season - but game time has become scarce at Stamford Bridge for the Spanish keeper

Given Kepa's ambition to be part of Luis Enrique's plans for the World Cup in Qatar this winter, he will need to secure more regular game time at the beginning of next season.
