Transfer: Chelsea Goalkeeper Kepa Completes Surprise £5m Move to Arsenal

Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga has completed a surprise move to Premier League rivals Arsenal.

The Gunners activated his modest £5 million release clause to sign him as a backup to first-choice keeper David Raya.

He spent last season on loan at Bournemouth and was widely expected to leave Stamford Bridge on a permanent deal.

According to football transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, on X: “Kepa to Arsenal, here we go!

“Deal done for the Spanish goalkeeper to join #AFC as new backup for David Raya.

“Arsenal activate £5m clause from Chelsea and all documents are now sealed.

“One more addition for Arteta after Martin Zubimendi.”
