Kepa Arrizabalaga says he's happy to remain at Chelsea and insists he enjoys a good relationship with the Blues' boss Frank Lampard.

The Spanish international, who moved to west London from Bilbao for a world record 80-million Euro in 2018, was dropped for six games for Wily Cabarello earlier this season before regaining his place for the last two matches prior to football's shutdown.

"The relationship with Frank is very good," the 25-year-old told Marca. "He has shown me confidence from the first moment. 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.

We play 50 or 60 matches a year and it's difficult to stay at the same level. The important thing is to be very clear about our objective, to work hard and put everything into improving. There may be bumps along the way, but when you have a clear objective, it is easier.

Kepa also believes that Chelsea can compete with Liverpool and Manchester City in the 2021 campaign:

"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 being able to sign players but you have to keep fighting for titles. I want to win everything with Chelsea and with the national team.
