Chelsea No1 Kepa Arrizabalaga admits there's a different attitude towards goalkeepers between Spain and England.

Kepa joined the Blues from Athletic Bilbao at the start of last season.

"What I've found in this country is that great value is placed on keeping a clean sheet," he told Chelsea magazine.

"In Spain, things are valued differently than here they calculate how many goals you concede over the course of the whole season and judge goalkeepers on that, but in the UK they count how many clean sheets you had during the season.

"It's very valuable for us as a team and everyone seems to appreciate that."
