Arsenal want to sign Chelsea ace Kepa Arrizabalaga

Arsenal are considering a move for Chelsea ace Kepa Arrizabalaga to reinforce the goalkeeping department next season.

The Gunners had Neto as their backup goalkeeper to David Raya last term, but he will be returning to Bournemouth after his loan stint.

The club are now eyeing another deputy for Raya, and journalist Luca Bendoni claims that Arrizabalaga has emerged as a target.

Arrizabalaga spent the previous league campaign on loan at Bournemouth. He had a brilliant spell with almost 100 saves and eight clean sheets.

The Spaniard can leave for a release clause of just £5m, and it appears Arsenal are prepared to bring him to the Emirates this summer.

Bournemouth opted against re-signing him due to his hefty wages of £150,000 per week. It remains to be seen whether Arsenal match that.

Arrizabalaga could be tempted to stay in London next term. His playing time could be limited to the Cup games if he were to join Arsenal.
