Arsenal have completed the signing of Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga.
The Spanish shot-stopper joins the Gunners on a three-year deal for a reported fee of just £5m.
Chelsea paid a record £72m for Kepa back in 2018, making him still the world's most expensive goalkeeper.
But a regime change in west London, as well as his antics in the 2019 EFL Cup where he refused to be substituted, have seen his time at Stamford Bridge hit the skids.
Kepa has instead spent the past two seasons on loan at Real Madrid and Bournemouth, respectively.
Kepa will now act as back-up to current Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya.
Mike Arteta's side are expected to be busy this summer with Martin Zubimendi joining from Real Sociedad soon, as well as the likely purchase of a new striker.
