"The likes of Viktor Gyokeres, Eberechi Eze, Martin Zubimendi and Noni Madueke were the splashiest arrivals this summer, but there were other gaps that needed filling. Goalkeeping depth was one such issue that needed addressing following Karl Hein's exit to Werder Bremen on loan, with Mikel Arteta making a move for Spanish stopper Kepa Arrizabalaga, whose Chelsea contract contained a 5million release clause that Arsenal reportedly met."
"Former Los Che president Amadeo Salvo entered negotiations with the Gunners, with the player keen to make a move to the Premier League, only for talks to break down. I had the opportunity to leave, Guaita told the Listen 2 Inspire podcast, as relayed by Super Deporte. It was practically a done deal, but Salvo was asking for a lot"
Arsenal completed a busy summer transfer window, signing high-profile players including Viktor Gyokeres, Eberechi Eze, Martin Zubimendi and Noni Madueke while sitting top of the early Premier League table. The club addressed goalkeeping depth after Karl Hein joined Werder Bremen on loan by signing Kepa Arrizabalaga, whose Chelsea contract contained a 5million release clause reportedly met by Arsenal. Kepa will serve as back-up to David Raya, who has established himself as the No.1. Previous Arsenal keepers included Aaron Ramsdale and Bernd Leno. Vicente Guaita spent five seasons as Crystal Palace's No.1 and nearly moved to Arsenal in 2013 before negotiations collapsed.
