Transfer: Chelsea Goalkeeper, Kepa Completes Shock £5m Move to Arsenal

  • Kepa Arrizabalaga, Chelsea's Spanish goalkeeper, completed a surprise £5 million move to Arsenal on June 24, 2025, to serve as backup to David Raya.
  • Arsenal triggered Kepa's £5 million release clause, which became active following the goalkeeper's contract extension last summer, to address their need for a new backup keeper.
  • Kepa enjoyed a strong loan spell at Bournemouth last season and previously contributed to Real Madrid’s double triumph in Spain’s top division and the top European club competition during the 2023-24 campaign.
  • Watts praised the deal as "an absolute steal" and a "fantastic one if it gets done," emphasizing Kepa's experience as a senior international approaching his prime.
  • The transfer finalizes Arsenal’s goalkeeping depth after Neto’s loan ended, suggesting Kepa will primarily serve as backup, playing only if Raya is unavailable.
