Kepa Arrizabalaga Revuelta (born 3 October 1994), often referred to simply as Kepa, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Premier League club Arsenal.
After progressing through Athletic Bilbao's youth academy including their farm and reserve teams, he played for Ponferradina and Real Valladolid on consecutive loans between 2015 and 2016, after which he became a first-team regular at Athletic. In 2018, he moved to Chelsea in a transfer worth €80 million (£72 million), a record fee for a goalkeeper. There, he won the UEFA Europa League, the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Super Cup. After inconsistent performances, he joined Real Madrid on loan in 2023, where he won La Liga and the Champions League. Following another loan stint, this time at fellow Premier League club Bournemouth, he moved to rival Arsenal on a permanent deal.
Arrizabalaga won the 2012 European Under-19 Championship with Spain's under-19 team. He made his senior debut in 2017, and was part of the national squad for the 2018 World Cup, although he did not make an appearance at the tournament.
