KEP-T OUT
Chelsea flop Kepa Arrizabalaga has conceded 11 MORE goals than he should have this term, say stats
HORROR stats have revealed that Kepa Arrizabalaga has conceded 11 MORE goals than he should have for Chelsea this season.
The Blues paid a world record £71.6million fee to sign the Spaniard from Athletic Bilbao in 2018 - but he has failed to live up to his billing.

The West Londoners have now conceded 54 goals this season - the most of any top-half team - after they lost 5-3 to Liverpool at Anfield.

And if Wolves score at Stamford Bridge in the final game of the season on Sunday, it will equal the Blues' worst ever Premier League conceded goals total in a single campaign.
Alarming stats have recently revealed that Kepa has conceded 11 Premier League goals more than the "average" goalkeeper is expected to concede.
This worrying figure is the worst total of any goalkeeper in the top-flight.
The 25-year-old has made a catalogue of errors this season and was even dropped before lockdown and replaced by veteran Willy Caballero.
Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher reckons Frank Lampard's side will not be able to challenge for the top-flight tile with Kepa between the sticks.
And his OWN teammates even turned against him when they faced off with the Reds last time out.
With the Blues 5-3 down in injury time, Kepa stayed glued to his line as Andrew Robertson's free-kick flashed across the goal face.
Chelsea players were heard screaming Kepa's name as they frantically called on him to come and claim the dangerous cross.
Skipper Cesar Azpilicueta was seen gesturing furiously at his fellow countryman while other Blues aces stuck out their arms in frustration towards the Spaniard for his failure to react.
Frank Lampard is said to be in the market for a new shot-stopper this summer having deemed Kepa not good enough to be his No1.

And the Blues could offer the stopper a route back to Spain as they look to land Barcelona's Marc-Andre ter Stegen as his replacement, according to reports.
Chelsea have also been linked with Atletico Madrid's Jan Oblak who has a £120m release clause in his contract.
Dean Henderson, Andre Onana and Ugurcan Cakir have also been linked.
