Arsenal FC are on the verge of completing a deal to sign Kepa Arrizabalaga from Chelsea, with a full agreement with the player reportedly almost finalized, according to @gunnerblog.
The 29-year-old Spanish goalkeeper is set to join the Gunners on a long-term contract, and has accepted a role as backup to first-choice keeper David Raya, marking a significant depth boost in Mikel Arteta’s squad.
Arsenal are expected to activate Kepa’s £5 million release clause in the coming days, bringing an end to his time at Chelsea, where he once became the world’s most expensive goalkeeper.
The move adds vital Premier League experience to Arsenal’s goalkeeper lineup as they prepare for a demanding season ahead in both domestic and European competitions.
