In a significant development in the transfer market, Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga is currently undergoing a medical examination at Bournemouth, as reported by The Sun UK. The Premier League club has reached an agreement with Chelsea for a loan deal that will see the Spanish international join their ranks for the upcoming season. Notably, this arrangement does not include an option or obligation to buy.

This move marks a reunion for Kepa and Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola, who played together for nine years at Athletic Club. Their prior connection is expected to facilitate Kepa's integration into the team as he embarks on this new chapter in his career.

Prior to finalizing his loan to Bournemouth, Kepa extended his contract with Chelsea by two years, ensuring his long-term commitment to the club. The 29-year-old goalkeeper originally joined Chelsea in 2018 for a record fee of £72.6 million from Athletic Bilbao. Last season, Kepa spent time on loan at La Liga champions Real Madrid, where he gained valuable experience.

As Kepa undergoes his medical, fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how this move unfolds and what it means for both the player and Bournemouth's aspirations in the Premier League.
