The loan transfer to Bournemouth is anticipated to be completed by Kepa.

Kepa Arrizabalaga is expected to finish his season-long loan at Bournemouth from Chelsea. The 29-year-old Spanish custodian had previously played at Athletic Bilbao under Andoni Iraola, the manager of Bournemouth. Despite the fact that he has been out of favour at Chelsea for some time, it is anticipated that his contract would be renewed before the loan transfer is finalised.

Kepa was on loan at Real Madrid for the previous season. Chelsea has reached an agreement to acquire 19-year-old goalie Mike Penders from Genk, a Belgian club.
