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.

The 30-year-old spent last season on loan at Bournemouth, keeping nine clean sheets in 35 games for the south-coast club.

One week into the summer transfer window, and Arsenal look to have secured their first player, with David Ornstein reporting that the Gunners will sign goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga from Chelsea for a fee in the range of £5 million.
