Former Chelsea player Minto concerned about Kepa facing Liverpool attack with his recent form

Scott Minto argues that goalkeeper is the position Chelsea should've strengthened in the summer.
Kepa's performance against brighton does not fill him with confidence.
Mo Salah will be especially threatening after bagging a hat-trick in Liverpool's first game.
"The one change Chelsea will need to make is in goal and if they could have made only one signing this summer it should have been someone to replace Kepa," ex-Chelsea defender Scott Minto told the Racing Post.
"I don't want to be part of a pile-on when a player is struggling but on another night his latest mishap at Brighton could have cost the team vital points.
A top keeper cannot allow a shot at that angle and from that distance to beat him and he has been at the club long enough to find his best form. It's just not going to happen for him.
"Kepa will be tested again by Liverpool's top-quality forward line and as a former left-back I think I would be having kittens at the prospect of facing Mohamed Salah in the form he is in."
The former Chelsea forward has started the season in a great form, scoring 3 goals against Leeds last weekend.
Chelsea are already close to signing Edouard Mendy from Rennes, and they hope he can put pressure on Kepa to step up his game - or replace him if the Spaniard's progress won't satisfy Frank Lampard.
