CHELSEA could make their second major goalkeeping purchase in less than two years if they push ahead with a move for Andre Onana.

Reports suggest the Ajax shot-stopper is ready to leave Amsterdam this summer, which could coincide with world record Kepa Arrizabalaga being replaced at Stamford Bridge.

Frank Lampard dropped the Spaniard from his side to face Leicester last weekend following a number of underwhelming performances.

While Kepa has not been guilty of many high-profile errors, he is also not producing the sort of magic moments befitting the globe's most expensive goalkeeper.

The stats show that his save success rate has dropped from 68 to 56 per cent between the last and current campaigns – yet he is determined to fight his way back into contention and feels hard done by.

Over the coming months, Chelsea must decide whether to back the 25-year-old or bring in a replacement.

According to Goal, goalkeeping coach Christophe Lollichon and performance advisor Petr Cech will assist Lampard in settling Kepa's future.

The same report asserts that the scouting department are already putting together a shortlist if a change is desired.

Barcelona academy product Onana, 23, is said to be an option to replace him.

The Cameroonian is reportedly keen to leave in the summer, at which point he will have two years left on his contract.

An offer some way short of the £71.6million handed over to sign Kepa in August 2018 is expected to be enough to tempt Ajax into a sale.
