Kepa Arrizabalaga has managed to stand out this season in the Premier League with Bournemouth, a team that surprises with its performance by being in seventh place, very close to the Champions League zone. His level has been key in the team's good run under the guidance of Andoni Iraola, and this has not gone unnoticed by his original club, Chelsea.

As reported by Marca, the 'blues' included in his loan a clause that allowed them to recall the goalkeeper before January 31 to prevent him from becoming a free agent next summer. Finally, the London club exercised that option, and Kepa will return to Stamford Bridge at the end of the season.

The goalkeeping position is a problem for Enzo Maresca, Kepa could solve it

Although Robert Sánchez has been the starting goalkeeper for Chelsea this season, the decision to reclaim Kepa indicates that the club still sees a future for him in their squad. With a contract until 2026, his situation will now depend on the sporting decisions made by the board.

The Basque goalkeeper has played 17 matches with Bournemouth, keeping a clean sheet on five occasions despite suffering some injuries. Iraola has expressed satisfaction with his performance, but if the club wants to retain him, they will have to negotiate with Chelsea. Everything points to the London team trusting Kepa again and, barring surprises, they will try to give him a more relevant role in the squad next summer. His return to Stamford Bridge is now a fact.
