Chelsea are considering a surprise move for Bayern Munich captain Manuel Neuer, according to Bild.

Blues manager Frank Lampard wants to bring in a new goalkeeper having become concerned about the form of Kepa Arrizabalaga.

Lampard dropped the world's most expensive 'keeper for a string of matches before the suspension of professional football due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The Germany international's current deal expires in the summer of 2021 and he is seeking a new long-term package. Yet Bayern are not prepared to offer that and Neuer could leave the Allianz Arena as a result.

The problem for Chelsea would be moving on Kepa first, as they would need to recoup a significant amount of the world record £71m they spent on the 25-year-old.
