New Chelsea signing Kepa reveals what Pepe Reina told him about Maurizio Sarri

New Chelsea signing Kepa Arrizabalaga is excited to be playing under Maurizio Sarri this season.

Kepa is expected to serve as first-choice keeper for the Blues this season after Thibaut Courtois moved to Real Madrid.

Kepa has good ball distribution skills and became highly-rated during his time with Athletic Bilbao in the La Liga.

He also boasts one cap for the Spanish national team which he earned during a 5-0 mauling of Costa Rica in November last year.

The 23-year-old served as third-choice for Spain during the 2018 World Cup and certainly has the potential to become one of the best keepers in the World under the right guidance.
