Arsenal set to sign Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa

Reports have emerged that Arsenal are in advanced talks to sign Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga in the upcoming transfer window.

Kepa has fallen out of favor at Chelsea and is looking for a move away from the club to secure regular first-team football.

Arsenal are believed to be in the market for a new goalkeeper as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season.

The Gunners have been linked with several goalkeepers in recent weeks, but Kepa has emerged as their top target.

The Spanish shot-stopper has had a mixed spell at Chelsea since joining from Athletic Bilbao in 2018 for a then-world record fee for a goalkeeper.

If the deal goes through, Kepa would provide competition for Arsenal’s current first-choice goalkeeper Bernd Leno.

It remains to be seen if Chelsea will sanction Kepa’s departure to a direct Premier League rival like Arsenal.

However, the opportunity for Kepa to secure regular playing time at Arsenal could be a tempting prospect for the player.

Arsenal fans will be eagerly awaiting confirmation of the deal as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season.

Stay tuned for more updates on this potential transfer as the story develops.
