Fabrizio Romano has delivered his famous 'here we go' on Arsenal's move to sign Kepa Arrizabalaga from Chelsea.
Following reports the goalkeeper was set to arrive at London Colney this week, Romano revealed the Gunners have now activated his £5m release clause with all documents sealed as he joins to become David Raya's new backup.
The move, although not officially confirmed, is now as good as done in the eyes of Arsenal fans and that should mean summer business is well and truly underway.
Fabrizio Romano delivers 'here we go' for Kepa's Arsenal move
🚨🔴⚪️ Kepa to Arsenal, here we go! Deal done for the Spanish goalkeeper to join #AFC as new backup for David Raya.

In the modern day of transfers, a 'here we go' from Fabrizio Romano is nearly as good and trustworthy as seeing your club's official announcement for a deal. The Italian has rarely been proven wrong when sharing his famous catchphrase so the breaking news on Kepa's move is very reliable.
Arsenal fans can now look forward to seeing him pull on the shirt of his new club, whether that be tomorrow or a few weeks from now. The important thing is that a move is practically done.
Not everyone is in agreement over the move for the Spaniard, with some arguing it is just another poor attempt at plucking unused players from London rivals Chelsea, but the deal is actually smart. He is a cheap option who has plenty of experience and will fit in well as a second-choice.
The move is a signal that the Gunners are finally making moves in the summer transfer window. A new backup 'keeper was one of their many priorities coming into the period and the signing of Kepa has now ticked that box.
Martin Zubimendi and Kepa can now be regarded as Arsenal players, but the club aren't stopping there as they look to bolster their squad ahead of another season where they will be looking to challenge for the Premier League title.
