Kepa said: “I’m really happy to be here, really excited and looking forward to what is coming.
"The ambition that is shown in this club, when I talk with Mikel [Arteta] and Inaki [Cana, goalkeeping coach], how much they show me their desire to win… I think we are so close to winning and hopefully altogether we can achieve it.”

In 2018, Kepa became the world’s most expensive goalkeeper when Chelsea signed him from Athletic Club for £71m.
He made 163 appearances for the Blues, contributing to their Champions League, Europa League, and Club World Cup triumphs.
During a 2023-24 loan at Real Madrid, he helped secure La Liga and another Champions League title.
