Kepa Arrizabalaga Joins Bournemouth on Loan

Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga is set to join Bournemouth on a season-long loan after extending his contract with Chelsea until 2026. The 29-year-old, who previously had a loan spell at Real Madrid, has been training separately from Chelsea's first team, indicating he has no future at the club. His move to Bournemouth is expected to conclude the club's interest in Arsenal's Aaron Ramsdale and may lead to Mark Travers's departure. Kepa, who remains the world's most expensive goalkeeper following his £71 million transfer from Athletic Bilbao in 2018, rejected a permanent move to Saudi Arabia earlier this summer. Chelsea has also signed teenage keeper Mike Penders for £17 million, though he will remain at Genk until next summer.
