Kepa Arrizabalaga is expected to complete the £ 5 million transfer deal from Chelsea to Arsenal this week.
Sky Sports said the 30 -year -old Spanish player will be in London to complete the final stages for the deal to Arsenal. The star with 13 caps of this Spanish team impressed the time when lent in Bournemouth, but was not considered by coach Enzo Maresca to give the opportunity at Chelsea next season.
Last summer, Kepa renewed the contract with Chelsea to switch to Bournemouth on loan, he accepted a salary reduction to be able to move to the London team. Now this goalkeeper wants to leave Stamford Bridge in the form of semi -broken after the loan period at Real Madrid and Bournemouth.

Many teams were interested in Kepa, but he chose Arsenal as a new stop for himself. Chelsea agreed to sell players born in 1994 to the Gunners with a fee of only about 5 million pounds, Kepa was also considered to agree to reduce wages to play football at the Emirates Stadium next season.
David Raya is currently the No. 1 goalkeeper of Arsenal, the Spanish player maintains great stability. It is very difficult for Kepa to get the No. 1 position of goalkeeper of the compatriot, so he can only play the role of reserve for Raya at the Emirates Stadium next season.
