In a significant move, Arsenal announced the acquisition of goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga. The former Chelsea player joins as a free agent after his contract lapsed.

Kepa, who was once the most expensive goalkeeper globally, spent seven years at Chelsea, obtaining notable successes like the Champions League. Despite spending much of his time as a backup, his loan spells at top clubs like Bournemouth and Real Madrid gained attention.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta praised Kepa's experience and commitment to victory, highlighting the Spanish player's potential to boost the team. As Kepa steps into this new phase, his competition for the No.1 spot with David Raya is keenly anticipated.
