Chelsea’s Spanish goalkeeper, Kepa Arrizabalaga, has moved to Bournemouth on a season-long loan. Kepa, who joined Chelsea in 2018 for a world-record fee of £71 million, has had a challenging few years at Stamford Bridge. With limited opportunities in the Chelsea first team, Kepa spent last season on loan at Real Madrid, where he played 20 matches and helped the team win both LaLiga and the Champions League.
Now, Kepa is back in the Premier League, ready to prove himself at Bournemouth. The club’s chief executive, Neill Blake, shared his excitement about bringing in a goalkeeper of Kepa’s quality, stating, “We are delighted to bring a player of Kepa’s calibre to AFC Bournemouth. We were aware of his availability and were keen to take the opportunity to bring him to the club on loan. We believe he will be an exciting addition to our talented goalkeeping department.”
Kepa has a wealth of experience, having made 163 appearances for Chelsea since his arrival from Athletic Bilbao. His move to Bournemouth provides him with a fresh opportunity to showcase his skills and regain his form in the English top flight.
Bournemouth fans will be eager to see how Kepa performs this season, as the team looks to strengthen its position in the Premier League.
