The Spaniard is set for a permanent move after spending the last two seasons on loan away from Stamford Bridge

Arsenal are closing in on a deal to sign Spanish goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga, according to reports. Kepa, who is still contracted to Chelsea until next summer despite not making a Blues appearance since 2023, has been on a season-long loan at Bournemouth, where the 30-year-old has impressed for Andoni Iraola’s side.

Arsenal look set to sign goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga from Chelsea, with the deal “in the process of being finalised”. Despite that passive language from The Athletic ’s David Ornstein, the move doesn’t look to be in any danger of not happening.
