The former Chelsea goalkeeper also spoke about the dynamics of his relationship with current Arsenal number one David Raya:

“He’s a great goalkeeper and we have a very good relationship. We will compete, we will train together, we will share a lot of time together. We will have competition, as with all the positions in the team, but with the only goal that is to win and be the best ones.”

Kepa also stated that he had spoken to former Chelsea teammate Kai Havertz and also with Martin Odegaard before switching clubs:

“I spoke with Kai. He was with Martin, so we were talking, we had a good chat together, and they already started explaining a little bit about how everything works and how good the atmosphere is right now in the changing room. So, I can't wait to join.”

Kepa also spoke about his earliest memory of Arsenal after having visited the stadium when he was 2012:

"Santi Cazorla. I can remember when he was here and I came here with Athletic Club to play an academy game. We were in the stadium, and I can remember his t-shirt in the club shop, so it's one of the memories that I have from a long time ago.

“I’ve come here as an opponent but the atmosphere in the stadium is beautiful. Obviously, it's a big stadium, a top stadium, with big fans. From outside you can see how much they love the club, how much they support the club and this, for a player, it's amazing to have this support behind you.”

Kepa at Chelsea was simply victim of his £71m price tag.

He was deemed the best possible option when Thibaut Courtois forced his exit when Chelsea in 2018.

Chelsea had gone for Alisson but he chose Liverpool with Kepa deemed the next best option but Athletic Club forcing the Blues to pay his full release clause.

After his wobble early in his Chelsea career, Kepa quickly proved not worth either the fee or his previous £190,000-a-week wages.

Yet, he was still highly respected behind the scenes and was deemed a top professional, good squad member and a positive character despite his strange episode in refusing to be substituted in the Carabao Cup final in 2019.

He has always been a good option but not one to command a world transfer record for a goalkeeper, which he still holds to this day.

Kepa could be a great asset to Arsenal having been a no1 and no2 at Chelsea in the past and push current starter David Raya.

Kepa Arrizabalaga becomes Arsenal's first summer signing as they look to go one better than their second-place Premier League finish in the past three seasons.

In addition, the Gunners are closing in on the signing of Brentford captain Christian Norgaard, while Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi is also expected to have a medical with the north London club.

Arsenal

Arsenal's new goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga has been speaking to the club's media following his move from Chelsea to the Gunners:

"We're here to win. I think we have a great team. I think we have great staff around here, the best facilities, so we have to prepare ourselves for this season and to have success.

"When I talk with Mikel [Arteta] and Inaki [Cana], they show me their desire to win. They showed me this ambition, how much they want to improve, how much they want to grow and I'm really here to help, to push and to win more."

Kepa Arrizabalaga still holds the record as the most expensive goalkeeper in football history following his £72m move from Athletic Bilbao to Chelsea in August 2018.

Signed as a long-term replacement for Thibaut Courtois, Kepa’s fee eclipsed the previous goalkeeper transfer record set just weeks earlier, when Liverpool paid £66.8m for Brazilian stopper Alisson Becker from Roma.

Since then, no goalkeeper transfer has come close to surpassing Kepa’s record.

Other notable fees include Gianluigi Buffon’s £32.6m move to Juventus from Parma in 2001 and Andre Onana’s £47.2m transfer from Inter Milan to Manchester United in 2023.

Arsenal

Arsenal have not yet confirmed the details of the deal or how long a contract Kepa Arrizabalaga has signed, but the 30-year-old had a £5m release clause in his contract at Chelsea, which had one year left to run.

He is understood to have signed a three-year deal with the Gunners.

Arsenal have now confirmed the signing of Spain goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga from Chelsea.

The 30-year-old's contract at Stamford Bridge was due to run out in June 2026.

Kepa Arrizabalaga has officially confirmed his departure from Chelsea with a post on Instagram.

"Thank you, Chelsea," wrote the 30-year-old Spanish goalkeeper, who has spent seven years at Stamford Bridge and was a on loan at Bournemouth last season.

"After seven unforgettable years, the time has come to close a very special chapter in my life. Chelsea was my home, my family, and the place where I grew both as a footballer and as a person.

"I arrived full of dreams and I leave with unforgettable memories: titles like the Champions League, Europa League, Uefa Super Cup, Club World Cup… but above all, moments shared with incredible people on and off the pitch.

"Thank you to the coaches, the staff, my teammates, and most of all, to you, the fans. Wearing this badge has been an honour and a source of pride."

West Ham United are currently in a period of transition as they prepare for the 2025–26 Premier League season under manager Graham Potter.

The club has seen several key departures over the last 12 months, including Kurt Zouma, Danny Ings, Aaron Cresswell, Vladimir Coufal, and Lukasz Fabianski, leaving gaps in both defence and attack.

There's been no incomings so far this summer other than completing the permanent signing of central defender Jean-Clair Todibo from Nice for £34.22m.

Several of England’s Champions League clubs are reportedly keen on Mohammed Kudus, whose sale could raise £60m-plus for West Ham’s much-needed squad rebuild.

Kudus, 24, remains sought after despite being as underwhelming last season as he was electrifying in 2023-24 following a £38m move from Ajax.

He only scored five goals in the most recent campaign, down from 14 across all competitions in his debut season for the Hammers, and was often ineffective in the system preferred by head coach Graham Potter, who took charge in January and favours wing-backs over wingers.

Kudus was often utilised up front by Potter and seldom featured wide on the right, arguably his best position, but one in which West Ham already have captain Jarrod Bowen.

For the second season running, Kudus attempted the most dribbles in the Premier League, but his success rate dropped by 10% in 2024-25.

The Ghanaian’s ability is not in question, though, and suitors will point to his 2023-24 numbers and a brilliant run and finish against Freiburg that season, either side of spectacular acrobatic goals against Brentford and Manchester City.

Reigning Europa League champions Tottenham Hotspur are looking to add to their attacking talent with the addition of West Ham's Mohammed Kudus, according to football transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano, external.

There have been plenty of rumours linking West Ham's Ghana forward Mohammed Kudus with a move away from London Stadium this summer.

The latest Kudus gossip is coming up...

Arsenal-linked Chelsea forward Noni Madueke would bring a fresh dimension to the Gunners' attack with his pace, dribbling and directness.

As a dynamic winger, he excels at taking on defenders one-on-one and creating chances both for himself and team-mates.

His ability to stretch defences out wide would complement Arsenal’s existing wide players like Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli, adding depth and unpredictability to their forward line.

Madueke’s creativity and flair could also help unlock tight defences, especially in big matches where space is limited.

Moreover, the 23-year-old's youth and energy would provide a boost in high-pressing and transitional play, key aspects of Mikel Arteta’s tactical approach.

Overall, Madueke’s addition would increase competition for places, improve Arsenal’s attacking versatility, and give Arteta more options to adapt his gameplan throughout the season.

As Arsenal gear up for the 2025-26 season, Mikel Arteta has a strong and versatile group of forwards at his disposal, with several exciting talents already in the squad and potential new additions on the horizon.

Key players like Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli provide pace, creativity and goal threat from wide positions.

Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus remain with the north London club, but both missed large parts of last season due to injuries. Leandro Trossard also remains with the team and is a useful option.

Meanwhile, Mikel Merino has been used to lead the line from time to time, and Raheem Sterling has returned to Chelsea following the conclusion of his loan spell.
