Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga is undergoing a medical at Bournemouth, paving the way for a loan move to the Premier League club. The agreement between Chelsea and Bournemouth does not include an option or obligation to buy, ensuring Kepa will return to Stamford Bridge at the end of the season.
In a surprising twist, Kepa signed a new two-year contract with Chelsea before embarking on his loan move. This extension secures his future at the Blues until 2025.
Kepa's move to Bournemouth reunites him with manager Andoni Iraola, his former teammate at Athletic Club nine years ago. The Spanish goalkeeper joins Bournemouth seeking regular playing time after spending last season on loan at Real Madrid.
Kepa's journey to Bournemouth marks a new chapter in his career, which began at Athletic Bilbao before joining Chelsea in a record-breaking £72.6 million transfer in 2018. Now 29, Kepa aims to revive his career at Bournemouth, bringing his exceptional goalkeeping skills to the Cherries.
