A brief glimpse into the past

Welcome to The Arsenal Kepa Arrizabalaga!

Spanish international goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga has joined the club. The 30-year-old has won major honours for clubs and his country, and is vastly experienced in the Premier League with 140 appearances to his name. Kepa arrives from Chelsea, having spent the last two seasons on loan at Real Madrid and Bournemouth, and joins us to reinforce our goalkeeping unit. Hailing from the north of Spain, he began his career with Athletic Bilbao, joining their academy aged 10 and progressing to the first team via spells with Basconia and Bilbao Athletic. He also spent valuable time on loan with Ponferradina and Real Valladolid before establishing himself with Athletic Club as one of the top goalkeepers in his homeland. In August 2018, Kepa became the world’s most expensive goalkeeper when he joined Chelsea, and during his time in west London he was part of the squads that lifted the Champions League, Europa League, UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup. In 2023/24, he returned to Spain to join Real Madrid on loan and played his part as the club went on to win the Champions League and Spanish Super Cup. Kepa then spent last season with Bournemouth, making 35 appearances in all competitions. Having represented Spain at youth level, he made his senior debut in a 5-0 win against Costa Rica in November 2017 and has gone on to make 13 senior appearances for his country, as well as winning the 2023 UEFA Nations League. After signing his contract, Kepa said: “I'm really, really happy to be here, really excited and looking forward to what is coming. “The ambition that is shown in this club, when I talk with Mikel [Arteta] and Inaki [Cana], how much they show me their desire to win… I think we are so close to winning and, hopefully, altogether, we can achieve it.” Sporting Director, Andrea Berta, added: “We are really excited to have Kepa join our Arsenal family. He is a player with great experience, someone who has already won major trophies, and we cannot wait for him to join the group and help the club win. “Kepa knows it is an exciting time to be at Arsenal and we know he is a player who will bring with him a winning mentality. We welcome him and his family to the club, and look forward to him meeting the players and staff, with everyone excited to see him.” Arteta added: “We are really happy to have Kepa joining us. He is a player we know, having come up against him many times in recent seasons. He brings a wealth of experience, which his teammates will benefit from, and he has a real hunger to win. “Kepa works hard and will elevate our levels. I know he will fit in perfectly, already knowing some of his teammates, and we are really excited about his future with us.” Kepa will wear the number 13 shirt and will immediately join up with his new teammates at the Sobha Realty Training Centre. Everyone at Arsenal welcomes Kepa to the club. The transfer is subject to the completion of regulatory processes. #arsenal Enjoy highlights, training, behind the scenes and documentaries to get closer to the likes of Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, Alessia Russo, Leah Williamson, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus, Kim Little, Declan Rice, Beth Mead, Gabriel Martinelli, Ben White, Stina Blackstenius and more.

Dieser berühmte Spieler schenkte seinem Fan sein Trikot.

Der Traum dieses Jungen war es, seinen Lieblingsspieler Declan Rice zu treffen. Und als er endlich die Chance bekam, ihn zu sehen, standen ihm die Tränen in den Augen. Als Declan ihn fragte, warum er weine, antwortete der Junge: „Du bist mein Lieblingsspieler.“ Dann fragte der Junge schüchtern, ob er vielleicht sein Trikot haben dürfe. Ohne auch nur eine Sekunde zu zögern, zog Declan sein Trikot aus, reichte es ihm und sagte: „Danke, dass du mein Fan bist.“ Credits : Micky62053615 ( X) 🙏🏻 If I have accidentally used your material without your consent, please contact me via email: Wundervollemomente@gmx.at and I will get back to you within 24 hours.

Myles Lewis-Skelly signs new contract ❤️ | Family, friends, coaches & more surprise MLS

Myles Lewis-Skelly has signed a new long-term contract with the club. The 18-year-old enjoyed a breakthrough season in 2024/25, becoming the latest graduate from our Hale End academy to cement his position in our first-team squad. Myles joined us as an eight-year-old and went on to play an instrumental role in each of the age groups as he moved through the years. He rose to prominence during the 2022/23 season, when he scored a memorable late winner for our under-18s against Manchester City in the FA Youth Cup semi-final at Emirates Stadium, and played every minute in the heart of our midfield during our run to the final. Six months later, Myles signed his first professional contract with the club upon turning 17, but the 2024/25 season saw Myles burst onto the scene as part of our defence, making 39 first-team appearances in all competitions. A senior debut came in our 2-2 draw away to Manchester City in the Premier League in September 2024, with a first start a few days later in our 5-1 home win against Bolton Wanderers in the Carabao Cup. Myles became the youngest player to start a Champions League fixture for us since 2011 with an impressive performance in our 3-0 win against Monaco in December. Having made his first Premier League start at home to Everton just a few days after his introduction on the European stage, the season only got better for Myles as he featured in 19 of our 21 remaining Premier League fixtures. That run included his first Arsenal goal in our famous 5-1 win against Manchester City at Emirates Stadium. As well as his impact in the league phase of the Champions League, Myles contributed in the knockout rounds with two assists. The first of those came in our 7-1 away win against PSV Eindhoven, and the second when he set up Mikel Merino to score the third goal in our memorable 3-0 victory at home to Real Madrid in the quarter-final first leg. Having represented England at youth level, Myles was called up to the senior national team in March to represent the Three Lions in their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers and now has a total of three caps to his name. A debut that charmed the nation, Myles scored after 20 minutes in front of Wembley Stadium, netting the first goal of Thomas Tuchel’s reign as England defeated Albania 2-0. Reflecting after signing his new contract, Myles said: “I’m so proud and happy. I know those words are simple, but I think they sum up how I feel signing for this club. I’m a fan and it’s like a dream come true. “I've embodied the values of Hale End and come through. I've still got a lot of years ahead of me, so if I can keep staying humble and being a good person, that's the most important thing to me. “I know I've taken a lot of experience from the games about the positive moments, the mistakes that I've made. I'm definitely more ready now for the next season. I just want to keep learning and keep improving. “I want a legacy. I want to win everything there is to win in the game. I want to win trophies on the biggest stages whilst being a person that's always learning and stays grounded, which is so important.” Myles’ new contract is subject to the completion of regulatory processes. #arsenal #afc #arsenalfc Enjoy highlights, training, behind the scenes and documentaries to get closer to the likes of Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, Alessia Russo, Leah Williamson, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus, Kim Little, Declan Rice, Beth Mead, Gabriel Martinelli, Ben White, Stina Blackstenius and more.
