Bournemouth are closing in on a move to sign Chelsea Spanish goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga.
This is according to Italian journalist and transfer guru Fabrizio Romano.
According to Romano, there are still key details to sort but a loan deal until June 2025 (extending his contract at #CFC until 2026) is now close after late night talks.
He added that if everything goes according to plan later today (Monday) Kepa will travel for medical tests.
Kepa is an option being considered alongside Arsenal’s Aaron Ramsdale as Bournemouth enter talks on multiple fronts to strengthen their options for manager Andoni Iraola.
Kepa spent last season on loan at Real Madrid, who were interested in re-signing him, but only if Ukraine international Andriy Lunin opted to leave, BBC Sport reports.
Saudi Pro League club Al-Ittihad also cooled interest in Kepa last month having held initial talks to sign him.
Chelsea are looking to offload up to 15 players before the transfer deadline next week, with the likes of Raheem Sterling, Ben Chilwell, Trevoh Chalobah and Romelu Lukaku available for sale.
