Arsenal interested in Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga | OneFootball

Arsenal are reportedly interested in Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga, according to journalist Luca Bendoni.

The Gunners took Neto on loan from Bournemouth to provide cover for first-choice shot-stopper David Raya this season. Arrizabalaga spent the campaign with the Cherries.

Arrizabalaga showed signs of improvement but still looked susceptible to long-range shots and had shaky moments.

Bournemouth looked set to pull the trigger and sign the Spain international, but their interest has cooled, allowing Arsenal to enter the frame.

Arrizabalaga could be a cheap addition with Premier League experience to bolster the numbers.

The world’s most expensive goalkeeper did not live up to the billing at Stamford Bridge but could play a crucial role in cup competitions for the North Londoners.

Arsenal briefly showed interest in Espanyol goalkeeper Joan Garcia.

However, he has opted to join Barcelona, where he will compete with former Arsenal star Wojciech Szczesny and stalwart Marc-Andre Ter Stegen.

If Arsenal sign Arrizabalaga for £5 million, it would free up more funds to improve their attack.

The Gunners need a new left-winger and striker. They need to cough up big numbers to sign marquee names.

Real Madrid ace Rodrygo is reportedly a top target, and he is the type of player the Gunners should be in the transfer market for.

The Gunners are pushing for RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko, but questions remain about whether he can spearhead the club to an elusive league title.

The club also desperately needs a capable back-up for talisman Bukayo Saka.

Potential free agent Leroy Sane would be perfect, but he would most likely want more playing time, and his salary is hefty.
