Lazio are reportedly interested in signing Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga on loan.
The 27-year-old became the most expensive goalkeeper of all time when he completed a £72m move to the Blues from Athletic Bilbao in the summer of 2018.
However, the Spain international has largely struggled to make his mark at Stamford Bridge and is currently number two at the club behind Edouard Mendy.
Kepa still has more than three years left to run on his contract with Thomas Tuchel's side, but there is currently a host of speculation surrounding his future, with Newcastle United among the clubs said to be interested in signing him during this summer's transfer window.
According to Corriere dello Sport, Lazio are also keen on the Spaniard, with the Italian club's head coach Maurizio Sarri an admirer of his talents.
The report claims that the Eagles could struggle to afford Kepa on a permanent deal, so a loan move, which would see Chelsea pay half of his wages, is the most likely outcome.
The goalkeeper has made 15 appearances for the Blues during the 2021-22 campaign, with just four of those outings coming in the Premier League. body check tags ::
