The 27-year-old Spaniard became the world's most expensive goalkeeper when Chelsea paid £72m for his signing to Athletic Bilbao in 2018. Kepa initially struggled with the physicality of the Premier League. However, Man Utd legend David de Gea also did the same during his early days in England.
However, unlike the Man Utd stopper, Kepa's rate of improvement and adaptation was not as impressive. As such, Chelsea went to the market last season to fix a problem when they brought in Edouard Mendy.
Senegal has quickly established itself as the undisputed No. 1 among blackjack. Kepa has thus been relegated to exclusion in cup competitions, with the rare occasions when Mendy is either injured or absent on international duty.
However, Kepa particularly flourished in his lesser role under Thomas Tuchel. And as a result, the Blues chief is looking to redeem his stock now more than at any time during his tenure at Stamford Bridge.
According to the Daily Star, Joe claims Chelsea chiefs will 'push him out of the books this summer'.
Ruthless Newcastle owners seek massive upgrade
Cash-rich Newcastle have been said to be in the mix with several LaLiga clubs including Atletico Madrid.
Eddie Howe is known to be a big fan of current toon keeper Martin Dubrawka. However, the club's ambitious owner wants to sign upgrades in every department of Howe's squad.
The report said Chelsea would be willing to approve an exit if £50m is offered. It may also come in the form of a loan deal with an obligation to buy.
Even a £50m sale would put Chelsea at a £22m loss on the keeper. However, any club should take into account that £50m is offered for a back-up star and that money could go towards consolidating the starting position elsewhere.
West Brom wonderkid spark Chelsea, Man City fight
Meanwhile, West Brom wonderkid Jamaldine Jimo is drawing the attention of England's biggest clubs, with Man City set to fight Chelsea for his signature, a report claims.
Chelsea set about refilling their youth ranks last month when they acquired 18-year-old left-back Dylan Williams from Derby County. Striker Mason Burstow also arrived from Charlton Athletic as the Blues began to stifle his worrying talent.
In fact, Chelsea have been freed from some of their most promising prospects in recent windows. Tariq Lamptey, Valentino Liveramento, Lewis Bett and Miles Pert-Harris are the four young players Chelsea have seen poached.
So it's no surprise seeing the Sun reports that Chelsea West Brom wonderkid Jamaldine is hot on the heels of Jimdo.
The 15-year-old has been described by the newspaper as a 'midfield dynamo' and has been selected for the England Under-16s.
He notably has four Chelsea starlets currently in the Young Lions squad. This is reportedly something The Sun has hinted that could aid Chelsea in their search for a transfer.
However, the outlet stated that Man City have entered the frame and are 'convinced' to take Chelsea off the smell.
