Arsenal sign goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga from Chelsea
ARSENAL HAVE SIGNED goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga from Chelsea. The 30-year-old Spaniard spent last season on loan at Bournemouth, making 35 appearances in all competitions. Arsenal had brought in Neto from the Cherries as back-up to David Raya, but the Brazilian has returned to the Cherries following the end of his own season-long loan. Advertisement Kepa, who spent the 2023/24 campaign at Real Madrid, has signed a three-year deal, the PA news agency understands. The fee is reported to be around £5million, with the transfer subject to the completion of regulatory processes. 'I'm really, really happy to be here, really excited and looking forward to what is coming,' Kepa told Arsenal's website. 'The ambition that is shown in this club, when I talk with Mikel (Arteta) and (goalkeeping coach) Inaki (Cana), how much they show me their desire to win, I think we are so close to winning and, hopefully, altogether, we can achieve it.' Kepa became the world's most expensive goalkeeper when he joined Chelsea from Athletic Bilbao in a £71m deal during the summer of 2018, going on to win the Europa League and Champions League with the Blues as well as the 2023 UEFA Nations League with Spain. Gunners boss Mikel Arteta is confident Kepa will provide plenty of competition for his compatriot Raya. 'He is a player we know, having come up against him many times in recent seasons,' Arteta said. 'He brings a wealth of experience, which his team-mates will benefit from, and he has a real hunger to win. 'Kepa works hard and will elevate our levels. I know he will fit in perfectly, already knowing some of his team-mates, and we are really excited about his future with us.' Chelsea posted on X: 'We thank Kepa for his efforts during his time at Stamford Bridge and wish him well in the future.' Arsenal also appear to be closing in on deals for Brentford midfielder Christian Norgaard and Real Sociedad's Martin Zubimendi. The Gunners are in need of midfield reinforcements, with Thomas Partey having become a free agent after his contract expired and Jorginho also leaving the club earlier this month to join Brazilian club Flamengo.

The Gunners are in need of midfield reinforcements, with Thomas Partey having become a free agent after his contract expired and Jorginho also leaving the club earlier this month to join Brazilian club Flamengo. Elsewhere striker Jorgen Strand Larsen has completed a permanent move to Wolves, having spent last season on loan at Molineux from Celta Vigo. The Norway international has signed a four-year deal with the club. The 25-year-old impressed in his first season in the Premier League, scoring 14 times to help steer Wolves away from the relegation zone. He met certain clauses in his loan contract which automatically made his move to Molineux permanent. Celtic have announced Greg Taylor has joined Greek side PAOK. The 27-year-old Scotland left-back has left Parkhead at the end of his contract, although manager Brendan Rodgers was keen to keep him despite Kieran Tierney's return from Arsenal. Taylor joined the Hoops from Kilmarnock in 2019 and won five William Hill Premiership titles, three Scottish Cups and three League Cups, including the domestic treble in 2022/23. He made 216 appearances for Celtic, scoring nine goals.
