28-year-old claim he want to becoming Chelsea captain, despite option he want leave Chelsea this summer
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Kepa Arrizabalaga is reportedly in the running to become the next captain of Chelsea, despite previous claims that he could be sold this summer. The Evening Standard suggests that Kepa is in contention for the captaincy role, along with Raheem Sterling, Reece James, and Thiago Silva. While Silva is considered the frontrunner, Kepa’s name has emerged as a potential candidate.
However, it is worth noting that many find it unlikely for Kepa to be named captain. The 28-year-old goalkeeper may not possess the typical leadership qualities associated with the role, and it could send a confusing message if a player the club is looking to offload becomes the team’s leader. Additionally, there are rumors that Chelsea is interested in signing Diogo Costa from Porto, which could impact Kepa’s starting position in the upcoming season.
Considering Thiago Silva’s vast experience and popularity among the fanbase and the squad, it would be more expected for him to be named captain by new manager Mauricio Pochettino. The official announcement of the new skipper is anticipated once Cesar Azpilicueta’s move to Atlético Madrid is finalized.
It will be interesting to monitor this situation as it develops, as the decision regarding the team’s captaincy is eagerly awaited.
