Man Utd news LIVE: Woodward looking to replace United star and moreKepa Arrizabalaga developmentFrank Lampard is facing a major battle to unload flop goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga at the end of this season. The Chelsea manager wants to sell the Spanish international goalkeeper, who was dropped on Saturday after a series of inconsistent displays if the right offer comes in, and replace the 25 year old, preferably with an English goalkeeper. Burnley’s England star Nick Pope is at the top of Lampard’s wish list. But Chelsea’s board are reluctant to take a massive financial hit on Arrizabalaga, who they signed for a world record for a goalkeeper £71.6 million from Athletic Bilbao in August 2018. Chelsea director and transfer guru Marina Granovskaia personally pushed the Arrizabalaga deal through, and the Spaniard was handed a seven year deal worth £10 million a year.
