Kepa Arrizabalaga 'wants to STAY at Chelsea and convince fans he can be their long-term No 1' as the Spaniard hopes to make the most of his close relationship with Mauricio Pochettino's goalkeeping coach

Kepa Arrizabalaga has no intentions to leave Chelsea and wants to bounce-back from difficulties enduring in the past seasons to become the club's long-term number one, according to reports.

The Spaniard became the world's most expensive goalkeeper in five years ago when he moved from Athletic Bilbao for a record £72million, but has struggled to live up to the hype that engulfed his arrival.

He looked set for a summer departure with Ligue 1 side Nice among the mentioned parties linked with making a move, but the appointment of Mauricio Pochettino as Chelsea's new leader has convinced him to fight for his place at Stamford Bridge.
