Chelsea's Kepa Arrizabalaga Discusses Record Transfer Fee, David De Gea
Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga has said his world-record transfer fee is not a point of focus for him, and he is supportive of national team-mate David De Gea, even if he wants to pass him and earn Spain's top spot.
Per Sky Sports, the Blues made the former Athletic Bilbao man the most expensive goalkeeper in the world by triggering his £71.6 million buyout clause in the summer.
According to Arrizabalaga that fee is a reflection of the market:
"Obviously the price was very high—£71m is a lot of money.
"I'm aware of this, but given the transfer market situation and how things are going, it is normal, so I don't need to focus on the value of the transfer.
