Chelsea transfer news: Lampard looking to sell Kepa with Onana, Oblak, Pope lined up

Frank Lampard is seemingly unhappy with club-record signing Kepa Arrizabalaga as Chelsea are planning to replace the 25-year-old Spaniard. Kepa has been in abysmal form throughout the season and failed to rise up to expectations after the Blues signed him for a record sum of £71.6 million from Athletic Bilbao back in 2018. Frank Lampard has reportedly lined up alternatives for Kepa with the likes of Jan Oblak, Nick Pope and Andre Onana in consideration. Atletico Madrid's Jan Oblak remains Chelsea's top priority but Diego Simeone has made it clear the Slovenian 'keeper is not for sale.

Chelsea will have to dig deep into their pockets and splash out the entirety of the £110m release clause if they wish to sign Jan Oblak from Atletico Madrid. Chelsea could also opt for Ajax's Andre Onana as the Dutch giants might agree to listen to offers for the 24-year-old. Nick Pope proved his mettle in Premier League as he managed to keep 15 clean sheets for Burnley this season. Chelsea might be interested in signing the Englishman as a replacement for Kepa. As reported by Sky Sports, Frank Lampard is likely to start Willy Caballero in their FA Cup final against Arsenal. This comes after Lampard left Kepa out of Chelsea's starting XI in their crunch game against Wolves on Matchday 38.
