Speaking on the day of his Chelsea debut, Kepa happily said: "It was an important decision for me, for my career and my life. There are many things that attracted me to Chelsea, the titles the club has won, the players, the city and the Premier League. I am very happy that Chelsea decided to trust and choose me."

Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia added: "Kepa is a talent we have admired for a long time. Chelsea are extremely excited about his arrival...."

Kepa will start training with the team on Thursday (August 9) and will make his Chelsea debut away to Huddersfield on the opening day of the 2018/19 Premier League season on August 11.

After a series of 'demands', Courtois arrives at Real Madrid

The Belgian goalkeeper finally got his wish when he officially joined "Los Blancos" from the 2018/19 season and reunited with his family in Spain.

On the homepage of Chelsea Club, it announced successful negotiations with Real Madrid on the terms of the transfer contract for goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.

According to many sources, the Spanish royal team must pay Chelsea 35 million pounds, after Courtois' contract with "The Blues" has only 12 months left to end.

Arsenal spend money to sign Dembele

Mirror reported that after taking the "hot seat" of Arsenal to replace coach Wenger, new captain Unai Emery has strengthened the Gunners in a... cautious way, bringing in 5 new players with a total cost of less than 100 million pounds.

Arsenal are expected to sign Dembele on Premier League transfer deadline day

However, on today's transfer deadline day, according to the above source, Arsenal could spend 100 million pounds on just one star: Ousmane Dembele from Barca.

The French international is said to be disappointed with Barca and wants to leave, after the "stealing" of Malcom - who plays in the same position, from Roma, even though the Serie A representative has already agreed on a price with Bordeaux.

Mundo reports that Arsenal are ready to strike a deal with Barca, but intend to borrow the player this season, paying £10m in the interim before buying him next summer and paying the remaining £90m.
