Kepa agrees Arsenal move while Chelsea close in on Jamie Bynoe-Gittens. Here’s the latest transfer news from Stamford Bridge.
It’s been a busy 24 hours for Chelsea in the transfer market. Kepa Arrizabalaga has agreed a move to Arsenal, while Chelsea are closing in on Jamie Bynoe-Gittens from Borussia Dortmund with a long-term deal already agreed.
Here’s the latest on two major transfer developments at Stamford Bridge.

🧤 Kepa Arrizabalaga Agrees Arsenal Move
After months of speculation, Kepa is finally set to leave Chelsea — and in a twist, he’s heading to London rivals Arsenal.
According to multiple reports, the Spanish international has agreed to join the Gunners, with Arsenal set to trigger the £5 million release clause in his Chelsea contract. Once that is activated, the move will be official.
Kepa is expected to come in as David Raya’s backup at Arsenal, providing much-needed depth to Mikel Arteta’s goalkeeping department.
For Chelsea, Kepa’s departure marks the end of an era — the world’s most expensive goalkeeper never quite hit the heights expected of him after his record move from Athletic Bilbao in 2018. His exit now frees up space and wages as Chelsea reshape their squad under Enzo Maresca.

⚡ Jamie Bynoe-Gittens: Chelsea Close to Securing Exciting Talent
While Kepa moves out, Jamie Bynoe-Gittens looks set to move in.
Chelsea have approached Borussia Dortmund for the 20-year-old winger, and a seven-year contract has already been agreed in principle with the player. Bynoe-Gittens is reportedly keen on the move and only wants to join Chelsea, who have been tracking him for several seasons.
The England U21 international has impressed with his pace, dribbling ability, and flair — drawing comparisons to top English talents who have made the jump from Dortmund to Premier League success.
Bynoe-Gittens fits Chelsea’s transfer model perfectly:
• Young, high-upside profile
• Premier League-ready skill set
• Long-term potential to develop into a top winger under Maresca’s system
With Chelsea already submitting an official proposal, negotiations with Dortmund are expected to move quickly.

The club continues to focus on balancing experienced departures with exciting young arrivals — a strategy that could define the next era at Stamford Bridge.
