Arsenal have been informed of a £5million release clause for Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga who cost the club £72m in 2018.
The 30-year-old spent the season on loan with Bournemouth and kept eight clean sheets in his 31 appearances in the Premier League.
Despite impressing during his stint at Vitality Stadium, the stopper remains surplus to requirements and the Blues could look to move him on permanently this summer.
The £72m splashed out to snap him up from Athletic Bilbao represented a world record fee for a goalkeeper and Chelsea are braced to take a significant hit.
