Arsenal set to sign Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa

According to various reports, Arsenal is on the verge of securing a deal to sign Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga.

The move comes after Arsenal’s current goalkeeper Bernd Leno suffered a long-term injury, leaving the club in need of a new shot-stopper.

Kepa has fallen out of favor at Chelsea and is seeking a fresh start at a new club.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is reportedly keen on bringing Kepa to the Emirates Stadium to strengthen the team’s goalkeeping options.

The deal is said to be in its final stages, with both clubs negotiating the transfer fee and contract details.

If the transfer goes through, Kepa will be the first-choice goalkeeper at Arsenal, providing competition for backup goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.

Kepa arrived at Chelsea in 2018 for a then-world-record fee for a goalkeeper but has struggled to hold down a regular starting spot in recent seasons.

The Spanish international will be looking to revive his career at Arsenal and prove his worth in the Premier League.

Chelsea, on the other hand, is likely to use the funds from the Kepa transfer to strengthen other areas of their squad in the upcoming transfer window.

Arsenal fans will be eagerly awaiting an official announcement from the club regarding Kepa’s arrival as they hope he can help improve the team’s defensive record.
