Kepa has opened up and admitted that he is really happy to be at ARSENAL after completing a £5 million move from Chelsea on July 1st 2025
At Bournemouth, Arrizabalaga replaced the experienced Neto, who ironically joined Arsenal on loan, as the Cherries’ first-choice keeper. The Spaniard excelled under manager Andoni Iraola, playing 35 Premier League matches and securing nine clean sheets
New Arsenal signing Kepa Arrizabalaga said: “I’m really, really happy to be here, really excited and looking forward to what is coming.
“The ambition that is shown in this club, when I talk with Mikel [Arteta] and Inaki [Cana], how much they show me their desire to win…
“I think we are so close to winning and, hopefully, altogether, we can achieve it.”
In a post on social media, he said also thanked his former clubs fans: “Thank you Chelsea. 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.
“Now a new chapter begins, and I face it with the same passion and commitment as always. I leave with a heart full of gratitude.
“With love and respect, Kepa Arrizabalaga”
IcFootballnews Says…
Joining ARSENAL shows that he has the quality to be a very good stopper, his performances for Bournemouth last season is why this move has happened, but why go and sit on the bench at the Emirates, maybe play a few cup games?
At this stage of his career he should be at a club firmly establishing himself as number one, not playing backup to a stopper like David Raya.
Anyways, it is a move that has now happened and one that many Arsenal fans are welcoming.
