    Kepa Arrizabalaga: Arsenal set to sign Chelsea goalkeeper

    Published on

    Arsenal are set to complete the signing of Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga this week.

    The 30-year-old has a £5m release clause after adding an extra year to his contract last summer before a successful loan spell at Bournemouth.

    The former Spain international will soon join Arsenal to compete with compatriot David Raya for the starting spot.

    Arsenal needed a new number two goalkeeper after opting against signing Neto, who spent last season on loan at Emirates Stadium from Bournemouth, on a permanent basis.

    Kepa remains the world’s most expensive goalkeeper since joining Chelsea in 2018 for £72m from boyhood club Athletic Bilbao.

    He played 163 times for Chelsea, winning four major honours during a mixed seven-year spell at Stamford Bridge.

    He also spent a season on loan at Real Madrid and won La Liga and the Champions League during the 2023-24 season.
