Arsenal have confirmed the arrival of goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga from Chelsea on a long-term deal.
The Gunners recently parted ways with Neto following his loan spell from Bournemouth, and Kepa has been signed as his replacement.
The Spaniard spent the previous campaign on loan at the Cherries, where he has hugely impressive with a save success rate of 71 percent.
Kepa helped the Cherries keep eight clean sheets in the Premier League and played a big part in their top half of the table finish.
The 30-year-old has now joined the Gunners from the Blues for a cut-price fee after the club triggered the £5m release clause in his contract.
The Athletic graduate is expected to provide backup to David de Gea for the goalkeeping role and he could start in the Cup competitions.
Arsenal were initially keen on landing Joan Garcia from Espanyol for £21m for the role, but he ended up joining Barcelona instead.
