Roman Burki: Chelsea want Dortmund goalkeeper to replace under-fire Kepa Arrizabalaga

- Kepa has struggled for form this season and was dropped for five Premier League games back in February

- Roman Burki has been identified as a potential replacement for the world's most expensive goalkeeper

- Burki has just a year left on his current Dortmund deal and he has not hid his desire to play in the EPL

Chelsea have reportedly lined up a shock £15million transfer bid for Borussia Dortmund shot-stopper Roman Burki.

The Blues are said to be eyeing the fast-rising Swiss goalkeeper to replace Kepa Arrizabalaga.

Kepa has significantly fallen out-of-favour at Stamford Bridge since his record move to the club two years ago.

Despite playing an important role under former boss Maurizio Sarri, the Spaniard appears to have failed to convince Frank Lampard he deserves remain his long-term No1.

SunSport reports Kepa fears he could be priced out of a transfer away with Chelsea already willing to let him leave.
