Kepa to join Arsenal
Football Transfer Centre


Arsenal have agreed to sign Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga after triggering a £5 million release clause in his contract, according to reputed journalist Fabrizio Romano.

The Gunners parted ways with Neto following his loan spell from Bournemouth. Espanyol’s Joan Garcia was the main target to replace him, but the Spaniard chose to join Barcelona instead.

Mikel Arteta‘s side have now moved quickly to purchase Arrizabalaga, who spent the previous campaign on loan with Bournemouth in the Premier League.

The 30-year-old had a solid year with the Cherries where he made almost 100 saves with a success rate of 71 percent. He kept eight clean sheets in the top-flight.

His progress convinced the Gunners to trigger his buy-out clause. Arrizabalaga will formally join the club from the Blues at the start of next month.

The same will be the case for Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi. The La Liga outfit have asked to delay the transfer due to accounting purposes.

The Gunners are also in advanced negotiations to land Norgaard from Brentford. The Dane is expected to join the club ahead of the Spanish duo.
