Arsenal have officially completed the signing of Spanish goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga from Chelsea in a deal worth £5 million.

Kepa becomes Arsenal’s first senior signing of the summer window, bringing experience and depth to the goalkeeping department.

Upon signing, Kepa expressed optimism about Arsenal’s future and the potential to finally end their long wait for a Premier League title. “We're here to win. I think we have a great team,” he said. “When I talk with Mikel [Arteta] and Inaki [Cana], they show me their desire to win.

Kepa is expected to compete with current Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya. Arteta is believed to value Kepa’s experience in big matches, including European nights, and sees him as a valuable addition both on and off the pitch.

With Arsenal narrowly missing out on the Premier League title in consecutive seasons, the arrival of Kepa signals their continued intent to bolster key areas and push for major honours. Whether as a first-choice or rotational keeper, Kepa’s presence adds quality and competition to the squad.

Arsenal fans will now be watching closely to see how the Spaniard integrates into the team and whether he can contribute to ending their long-standing title drought.
