NAPOLI have enquired about taking Chelsea outcast Kepa Arrizabalaga on loan this summer, reports suggest.

Kepa has since had to settle for the bench and a few cup appearances.

"I'm not desperate. In the end, I'm in a great club… I'll talk to the coach and we'll decide, but with the clear message that I want to play more."
If Kepa joins Napoli then he will still face competition for the No1 spot against Alex Meret.
