Chelsea in talks to sign Kepa and could offload Bakayoko

Chelsea are in talks to sign Spain international goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga from Atletico Bilbao as a replacement for Thibaut Courtois, while AC Milan have expressed an interest in Tiemoue Bakayoko.

Courtois has not returned to training with the Blues as the 26-year-old Belgian looks to force through a move to Real Madrid.

Chelsea are reluctant to allow their first-choice keeper to leave until they sign a replacement.

Real have offered Croatia international midfielder Mateo Kovacic to Chelsea on a season-long loan as part of a potential deal for Courtois.

Bakayoko, 23, has also attracted interest from Spanish side Sevilla.

The midfielder failed to impress since his move to Chelsea from Monaco a year ago.
