Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga has made the decision to secure a permanent transfer to Bournemouth this summer, according to Football Insider.

The Spain international was loaned out to the Cherries last summer and he has been a terrific performer for the South Coast outfit in the Premier League.

Arrizabalaga has helped them in their push for Champions League football. They are only four points behind Manchester City, who are placed fourth.

It is now reported that Arrizabalaga sees his future away from west London and he would prefer a permanent transfer to the Cherries in the next window.

There is also interest from several foreign clubs, but the former Athletic Bilbao graduate favours staying in the English top-flight in the future.

Chelsea have had a goalkeeping crisis this campaign with both Robert Sanchez and Filip Jorgensen being guilty of making high-profile errors.

Arrizabalaga has the opportunity to redeem himself with the Blues, but the Spaniard does not appear keen on fighting for his spot at the club.
