Willy Caballero admits surprise at how quickly Kepa has adapted | OneFootball

Chelsea goalkeeper Willy Caballero has admitted his surprise at how well Kepa has admitted to life in the Premier League.

Kepa joined the Blues from Athletic Bilbao over the summer in a transfer that made the 24-year-old the most expensive in history.

But Caballero has insisted it is “crazy” to talk about how much players cost any more and instead chooses to focus on the shot-stopper’s performances on the pitch.

“First of all, we needed a goalkeeper who plays really well with his feet,” Caballero told Goal.

“He is doing really well with that; he has confidence and a good pass. Long and short.

“As well as that, he has very quick reactions, good hands and he is doing well. I thought he might need a few weeks and months because adaptation to the Premier League sometimes needs a little bit of time but from the first game, he has been doing really well.

“I think that football has gone crazy in the last three or four years.

“When we talk about a player for the money that we spent, in this market, I think it is a little bit crazy. We shouldn’t talk about money, we have to talk about his performances and I think his performances have been really good.”

Next up for Chelsea is a trip to Manchester City on Sunday.
