Chelsea are flying Kepa to capital on private jet as they look to meet his gigantic release clause
GOALKEEPER Kepa Arrizabalaga has been spotted in Madrid airport catching a flight to London ahead of a world-record £71million move to Chelsea.
The Athletic Bilbao ace has reportedly been chosen as the man to replace Real Madrid target Thibaut Courtois at Stamford Bridge ahead of Thursday’s transfer deadline.

Chelsea were believed to be have made Stoke City’s Jack Butland their number one target.
But it’s now claimed by Marca that Kepa is the man heading to West London to work under new Blues boss Maurizio Sarri.
Chelsea are eager to wrap up a deal as soon as possible and are flying the 23-year-old to the capital on a private jet.
Roman Abramovich and his team are also set to eclipse Liverpool’s £65m fee for Roma’s Alisson by meeting Kepa’s 80 million euros release clause, which equates to roughly £71m in the current market.
