Maurizio Sarri targets reunion with Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga at Lazio despite the pair's infamous argument during the Carabao Cup final against Manchester City in 2019

Maurizio Sarri wants to be reunited with Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga at Lazio, according to reports.

Kepa previously played under Sarri during the Italian coach's solitary season at Stamford Bridge back in 2018-19.

The duo briefly fell out when Kepa refused to be substituted in the Carabao Cup final defeat against Manchester City during that campaign, but their disagreement appears to be a thing of the past.
