Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga has admitted he wants to join Real Madrid permanently next year when his loan transfer to the Spanish club ends.

Real Madrid have signed Kepa on a season-long loan deal following a long-term injury to their number one goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.

Kepa told reporters: “I really hope Real Madrid will keep me at the end of the season.

“The decision has been very easy,” Arrizabalaga added: “I had other important offers but Real Madrid is Real Madrid. When Real Madrid wanted me everything was clear.

“Spanish players always talk about Real Madrid during the international break. Everything about this club is spectacular.”
