The Gunners are looking to sign a back-up goalkeeper to David Raya and have reached agreements with Chelsea and Kepa, who has a £5m release clause in his current contract. Chelsea are keen to sign Mike Maignan, who will this summer enter the final 12 months of his contract at AC Milan.

Arsenal are closing in on a deal to sign goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga from Chelsea, sources have told ESPN. Kepa, who spent last season on loan at AFC Bournemouth and the previous season on loan with Real Madrid, has emerged as a target for Mikel Arteta as he looks to sign a reliable back-up for David Raya.
