Goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga has pledged his future to west London side Chelsea, adding that he is keen to win more trophies with the Blues. The shot-stopper, who joined Chelsea back in the summer of 2018 following Thibaut Courtois’s departure to Spanish giants Real Madrid, insists that his relationship with Frank Lampard “is very good”. Following errors from Arrizabalaga earlier this season, Lampard replaced the Spaniard with backup Willy Caballero for a few games, and the decision led to reports suggesting the Chelsea no.1 might have no future at Stamford Bridge. While speaking to Marca, however, Kepa said he is fully committed to the Blues. The 25-year-old said: "The relationship with Frank is very good.

He must make decisions, but I feel I have his confidence, both his and that of the whole club. We all like to play in every game. "It is true that, in the last 10 years, Chelsea is the English team that has won the most titles, and I think we should have that ambition. In fact, I came here for that and in the first season, we already achieved the Europa League. We have a young team. "Then came the penalty of not signing players (the transfer ban) but you have to keep fighting for titles. I want to win everything with Chelsea and with the national team."
