Arsenal are closing in on a deal to sign goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga from Chelsea, sources have told ESPN. Kepa, who spent last season on loan at AFC Bournemouth and the previous season on loan with Real Madrid, has emerged as a target for Mikel Arteta as he looks to sign a reliable back-up for David Raya.

Arsenal look set to complete their first signing of the summer transfer window after agreeing a cut-price fee for a forgotten Chelsea star. Alongside signing a marquee goalscorer to lead the line, the Gunners have been keen to sign a backup keeper to provide cover for David Raya.
