Kepa Arrizabalaga (13)

At 30 he will be entering his peak phase of his career. Would be a good addition as a back up to Raya.

Imagine getting that guy for 72M lol

Chelsea sure can afford a lot of flops

Wage drop sounds good

Way better back up than Neto, would be happy with this signing.

was pretty shaky as a stand-in at Real, not very impressed tbh.

Arteta buys a GK and Chelsea reject in every window, so getting both in the same package means everything is good.

Kepa expected to have options but not discounting AFC despite Raya being established as No 1.

Fuck that, the prick should be desperate to join us.

Can see him playing more games than Neto did. Some of the easier Champions League games, for example.

Also helps we’re not signing a backup goalkeeper that’s fucking cup-tied!!

Steady on. He’s cheap and a decent option but he’s still crap. Hopefully he never has to play.

This makes a lot more sense short term than spending 30-40m on Garcia would’ve. Kepa is a clown but the backup doesn’t need to be world class just serviceable. For 5m it’s worth doing.

I’m refusing to accept that we’ve approached him or the club until I see the word “concrete” in a tweet.

Seems a no brainer at the suggeated price

It was always a no-brainer.

Welcome to Arsenal.

Goalkeeper situation sorted VERY early. I love it.

Really positive move. Good backup at a decent price.

wonder what contract he will have here and what wages he will be on

Deserves his full name now he’s signed

Great move. He’ll be one of the best backups in the league, is good enough with his feet to play our football, and will cost very little. Cana probably already knows him well via the Spanish GK fraternity as well.

This deal always made sense, £5m for a very good back up
