Bournemouth have signed Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga on a season-long loan.

The 29-year-old, who became the world’s most expensive goalkeeper when he joined Chelsea from Athletic Bilbao in 2018 for £71 million, recently extended his contract with Chelsea by one year, which was originally set to expire at the end of the 2025 season.

Kepa spent last season on loan at Real Madrid, making 20 appearances as a stand-in for the injured Thibaut Courtois, during which he helped the team secure both La Liga and the Champions League titles.
