Most of the focus is on Chelsea signing players this summer. Liam Delap is the only addition they have made so far and in three games at the Club World Cup, he has a goal and an assist to his name while drawing comparisons to Diego Costa for his tough style of play. On the other hand, it is believed that the Blues are getting closer to signing Jamie Gittens as well, with personal terms in place for a while and talks progressing with Borussia Dortmund over the transfer fee.
At the same time, one cannot lose sight of the fact that plenty of players could end up leaving Chelsea this summer as well. And it looks like one exit is just a matter of time now.
As reported by Fabrizio Romano, Kepa Arrizabalaga to Arsenal is a 'here we go'. It is a deal done for the Spanish goalkeeper to join as the new backup for David Raya. Mikel Arteta's side have activated his £5m clause from Chelsea, and all documents are now sealed.
So, it looks like Kepa's shaky time at Chelsea is finally set to come to an end. He was signed in 2018 and had spent the previous two seasons out on loan, at Real Madrid and Bournemouth respectively.
'Here we go' - Fabrizio Romano confirms Chelsea exit as Arsenal activate clause
Chelsea paid out a world record £72m fee to sign Kepa from Athletic Bilbao. Back then, he was expected to develop into one of the best in the game.
Unfortunately, that did not end up happening. He has always looked shaky in the Premier League and his departure comes at the right time. Let's see how things go for him at Arsenal.
Kepa becomes the latest player to swap Chelsea for Arsenal. Other names on that list include Kai Havertz, Jorginho, Petr Cech, David Luiz, Willian, William Gallas, Raheem Sterling and quite a few others.
