Kepa has been a subject of continuous criticisms by some section of Chelsea fans and the media since he joined the Premier League side from Athletic Bilbao in the summer of 2018.
As the world’s most expensive goalkeeper and the Blues’ record signing, the Spaniard is yet to justify his price tag despite some few good performances.
Head coach Frank Lampard was forced to drop Kepa following his sub-par performance in a 2-2 draw against Arsenal in January, but showed glimpses of his potential when he was called back to the starting lineup against Liverpool and Everton in the FA Cup and the Premier League respectively.
Many reports in recent weeks have suggested that the English coach is ready to replace the former Real Valladolid man with the likes of Andre Onana, Jan Oblak, Dean Henderson and Gianluigi Donnarumma.
Kepa has insisted he has the full backing of Lampard despite reports suggesting he could be replaced in the summer.
"The relationship with Frank is very good," the 25-year-old told Marca.
"He has shown me confidence from the first moment. He must make decisions, but I feel I have his confidence, both his and that of the whole club. We all like to play in every game.”
"It is true that, in the last 10 years, Chelsea is the English team that has won the most titles, and I think we should have that ambition.”
"In fact, I came here for that and in the first season, we already achieved the Europa League. We have a young team.”
"Then came the penalty of not signing players (the transfer ban) but you have to keep fighting for titles. I want to win everything with Chelsea and with the national team."
