#2 The form factor
Now after reading the previous point of discussion, you might argue why any youngster should be backed. But it doesn't end there.
To an extent, the world's most expensive goalkeeper has served the purpose. To kick-start matters, let's begin with the concept of Sarri-ball. Tons have been spoken about what it takes to meet the demanding philosophy of Sarri's style, but not much has been iterated with respect to a goalkeeper's aspect.
The number one has to be adept with his feet, calm under high pressure and of course, in short - a modern-day goalkeeper. Now Kepa has done brilliantly well, with 140 successful long balls in the league, along with a total of 784 passes. He plays just under 30 passes per game on average in the Premier League. That's an outstanding return.
In the Europa League, the 24-year-old boasts a pass completion rate of 92.1.
He has amassed 11 clean sheets in the Premier League, and despite not claiming one against Fulham last time out, Kepa smothered four shots away to win the player of the match in a game where Chelsea narrowed in on victory.
All in all, with 59 saves to his name, the Spain international has taken the PL by storm.
