'KEPA WAS ALWAYS CHELSEA'S NO 1 CHOICE'
SSN reporter Kaveh Solhekol gives us the latest on Chelsea's world-record purchase of Kepa and more from Stamford Bridge.
"The two arrivals today means the Chelsea squad is now a bit unbalanced," he told SSN. "They now have nine central midfielders and we can expect some of them to be moved on.
"Meanwhile, Kepa has revealed that the first time Chelsea got in contact with him was when he got back from his holidays two weeks ago.
"Sources at Chelsea have told me he was always their No 1 choice and they also tried to sign him before. And Kepa said Chelsea made two bids for him this summer, but Bilbao rejected them."
