SINGAPORE -- Is the world's most expensive goalkeeper now an understudy? Kepa Arrizabalaga joined Arsenal at the start of July in a surprise move after the Gunners triggered his £5 million release clause to sign him from Chelsea.
It came almost seven years to the day since the Blues paid a record £71.6m to take the Spaniard from Athletic Club. While his stock has fallen considerably since then, it was nevertheless something of a surprise that Kepa would join a club with a well-established No. 1 in David Raya.
