“Torres? Shevchenko? No. Kepa is the biggest failure in Chelsea’s history.”

Kepa Arisabalaga is Chelsea’s biggest failure in history, according to former blues striker Chris Sutton for the goalkeeper, who was lured in for £ 71.6 million.

Sutton put Kepa ahead of Fernando Torres and Andriy Shevchenko at the top of the unfortunate Stamford Bridge standings.

The Blues made Spaniard Kepa the most expensive goalkeeper in world football when they bought him from Athletic Bilbao in the summer of 2018.

He was long considered a reliable choice for the West London team gate, as he is still only 25 years old.

It took Tiago just 45 minutes with Liverpool to set a record

However, Kepa could not justify the confidence and the pressure on him is mounting. Their mistakes cost the team points, and Arisabalaga was rather unconvincing in Sunday’s derby with Liverpool, lost at Stamford Bridge 0: 2.

“Kepa cost Chelsea £ 71.6 million in 2018, but not for a moment did he prove himself worthy of being the world’s most expensive goalkeeper. After the mistake against Liverpool, he further established himself as Chelsea’s worst addition In the Premier League era, perhaps the worst after me, when they paid £ 10 million, I moved to Stamford Bridge for a lot of money in 1999. It didn’t work out and a year later I was sold to Celtic for £ 6 million. Sometimes it’s Better to move on, and we have the example of Fernando Torres, who cost 50 million, and Andriy Shevchenko, 30 million pounds.

The golden trio reappeared in Liverpool's attack, this time the goals were the work of Sadio Mane

But Kepa certainly beats us all. Sadio Mane’s goals on Sunday mean he has conceded 11 goals from the last 16 shots on target. In soccer, you always have the opportunity to redeem yourself. I understood this at Celtic and Kepa may have to go prove himself elsewhere. Edward Mandy cannot come from Rennes soon enough for Frank Lampard, who is under a lot of pressure to win a trophy this season. Chelsea are not the type of clubs where you can say to yourself: “No problem, next season we will try again!” Lampard knows, like all other senior team managers, that trophies are a must. “

Chelsea, who could have a new No. 1 until their next appearance, will play Barnesley in the League Cup on Wednesday before returning to Premier League action as a guest of West Bromwich on Saturday.
