Kepa Arrizabalaga may have finally found his perfect fit after years of uncertainty following his world-record move to Chelsea.

Still officially a Chelsea player, the Spanish shot-stopper has established himself as Bournemouth’s first-choice goalkeeper, and he may have just delivered his standout moment in their colours.

During the FA Cup quarter-final clash against Manchester City, Kepa produced a sensational save to deny Erling Haaland from the penalty spot—a moment that left even die-hard City fan Noel Gallagher in disbelief from the stands.

This heroic stop could be the decisive factor in Bournemouth’s plans to sign him permanently, with Chelsea open to selling the 29-year-old at the end of the season.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that the Cherries are keen on securing Kepa on a long-term deal after being impressed by his performances since his loan move last summer. However, Bournemouth will need the financials to align, with Kepa’s high wages potentially being a stumbling block in negotiations.

With Chelsea looking to move on from their former record-signing goalkeeper, the ball is now in Bournemouth’s court—will they make the deal happen?
