BREAKING NEWSArsenal CONFIRM Kepa Arrizabalaga signing from Chelsea - seven years after he joined London rivals for world-record £72m fee

Arsenal have confirmed the signing of goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga from Chelsea after triggering his £5million release clause.

The 30-year-old has signed a three-year contract at the Emirates and will compete with David Raya for the first-choice spot.

He has spent the last two seasons on loan at Real Madrid and Bournemouth. The Spaniard brings the experience of being part of two Champions League-winning squads with Chelsea and Madrid, also winning LaLiga at the latter in 2023-24.

Kepa becomes Arsenal's first signing of the summer, though Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi and Brentford's Christian Norgaard are expected to follow suit soon.
