In a significant development, Bournemouth are on the verge of securing a deal to sign Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the clubs are nearing an agreement for a loan deal that would see Kepa move to Bournemouth until June 2025.

The deal is expected to include an extension of Kepa’s contract with Chelsea until 2026, with final details currently being ironed out.

Late-night talks have brought the agreement closer, and if all goes smoothly, the Spanish goalkeeper is set to undergo medical tests later today.

This potential move marks a major acquisition for Bournemouth as they look to bolster their squad for the ongoing Premier League campaign.
