Kepa Arrizabalaga was officially unveiled at Real Madrid as their latest star after completing a loan move from Chelsea, but the Spanish international wasted little time in calling for a permanent deal at the end of the season.
Thibaut Courtois' ACL rupture on the eve of the new season sent Los Blancos reeling with the need to replace their No 1 stopper becoming a priority before the close of the summer transfer market.
Their search for a top class pair of hands took them to Chelsea, with Arrizabalaga - still the world's most expensive goalkeeper - losing his starting spot to new Blue Robert Sanchez.
