Chelsea keeper Kepa was a little fat and got fined for being overweight, jokes Jorginho

CHELSEA star Jorginho claims teammate Kepa Arrizabalaga was fined for being a little fat.

The revelation was made as Jorginho and Mateo Kovacic played a game with ESPN Brazil where one of them would have to guess the name of a Chelsea player using a series of clues from the other.

Jorginho has joked Kepa was ‘fat’ and received a fine as a result

When Kovacic was given Kepas name, he presented a clue to Jorginho by saying: Hes a little fat.

When Jorginho responded by saying that there was at least two Chelsea players who have had issues with weight, Kovacic cheekily added: He could be a manager.

That was a hilarious dig at Kepas infamous bust-up with former manager Maurizio Sarri in last seasons Carabao Cup final against Manchester City.

And armed with two key clues, Jorginho was finally able to say the mystery man was indeed Kepa.

The Italian then said: He paid a fine. I think hes paid a fine because hes chubby.

Kepa? You killed him in this one. He will remember that.

Frank Lampards list of fines was leaked online earlier this season, but there is no suggestion that players who are overweight are docked any cash.

However, Jorginho has now indicated that players carrying excess baggage may have to cough up as punishment.

Meanwhile, Chelsea have been linked with a move for Real Madrid star Isco.

It has been claimed that Real Madrid have offered the playmaker out for 44million as they look to land Spurs contract rebel Christian Eriksen.

Whether Chelsea make a move remain to be seen, with the likes of Mason Mount already on the books.

The young midfielder has made a huge impact and put in a fantastic performance during Sundays 2-0 win at Spurs.

NGolo Kante, widely regarded as the best in his position, has also claimed Mount can become a world-class player.

And links with Isco could be redundant due to Lampards faith in his former Derby loanee.
