British media reports say he will wear the No 13 shirt and provide backup for David Raya.

LONDON: Arsenal have signed Spaniard Kepa Arrizabalaga from Chelsea, the Premier League side said today, with media reporting that the club triggered a £5 million release clause to buy the world’s most expensive goalkeeper.

Kepa, 30, joined Chelsea from Athletic Bilbao in 2018 for £71 million, but after winning the Europa League in 2019, the Champions League two years later, and the Club World Cup in 2022, the keeper has spent the last two seasons on loan.

Last season, Kepa was Bournemouth’s regular goalkeeper in the Premier League and in the previous campaign he made 20 appearances for Real Madrid, helping the Spanish club win La Liga and the Champions League.
