Bournemouth are hoping to sign Spanish goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga on a permanent basis after joining on loan from Chelsea and becoming their number one goalkeeper this season.
The Ufabet reports that Spanish head coach Andoni Iraola’s Bournemouth are evaluating the number one goalkeeper position for the 2025-26 season, with Arrizabalaga a likely investment option.
Kepa, on loan from Chelsea, has quietly re-established himself as a dependable Premier League goalkeeper. Despite the fanfare surrounding his £71.6 million move to Stamford Bridge in 2018, the Spaniard’s career has needed this kind of calm resurgence. At Bournemouth, he’s feature in all but three of their eligible Premier League games and has been a crucial cog in Andoni Iraola’s evolving system.
Arrizabalaga has sign a new one-year แทงบอล UFABET ราคาดีที่สุด ไม่มีขั้นต่ำ contract with Chelsea. Extending his contract until 2026 instead of the original deal expiring in mid-2025. Before being loan out to Bournemouth for the 2024-25 season, avoiding losing the player on a free transfer this summer.
The Spanish goalkeeper has been a regular in Iraola’s side, making 25 appearances in all competitions, 22 of which have come in the Premier League. While Mark Travers has made five and Neto three.
For this reason, Iraola sees Arrizabalaga as the number one for the 2025-26 season, but if an agreement with Chelsea cannot be reached, he is looking at two other options: Liverpool’s back-up goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher and Leicester City’s relegation-threatened goalkeeper Mads Hermansen.
