'Kepa needs to find a way to enjoy playing for Chelsea' - World's most expensive goalkeeper backed to come good

Former Chelsea goalkeeper Kevin Hitchcock has called on Kepa Arrizabalaga to find a way of enjoying his football again, with the Spaniard's inconsistent form across the season having put his long-term future up in the air.

The shot-stopper made a world-record £71 million ($89m) move from Athletic Bilbao to Stamford Bridge in 2018 but has looked far from convincing since Frank Lampard took over in the dugout.

The Blues boss dropped Kepa for five games over the winter period but recalled him for the last two matches before football was called to a halt due to the coronavirus pandemic.
