Transfer: Chelsea Goalkeeper Kepa in Shock Move to Arsenal
- In June 2025, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta initiated discussions to acquire Kepa Arrizabalaga from Chelsea, aiming to add him as a secondary option behind first-choice keeper David Raya.
- Arsenal are looking to strengthen their goalkeeper options following the end of Neto's loan spell from Bournemouth and after missing out on signing Espanyol's Joan Garcia.
- At 30 years old, Kepa spent the previous season on loan at Bournemouth, where he was their starting goalkeeper and recorded eight clean sheets across 31 Premier League games.
- Arsenal could activate Kepa’s release clause of £5 million, which is more than 14 times less than the £72 million Chelsea paid in 2018 for his record-breaking transfer.
- If completed, Kepa’s signing would provide Arsenal with experienced goalkeeping depth, reflecting their strategy to secure a more permanent solution after Neto’s departure.
