BOURNEMOUTH have announced the signing of Kepa Arrizabalaga on a season-long loan from Chelsea.
The 29-year-old will remain at the Vitality Stadium until next July.
Kepa has continued to fall down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge in recent years.
He was loaned out to Real Madrid last season but made just 20 appearances.
And he returned to London this summer to find that his squad number had been stripped.
New Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca had no intention of including the goalkeeper in his plans for this season.
He subsequently put him in a so-called 'bomb squad' - a group of players training separately at the club's Surrey base.
Although his future at Stamford Bridge is in doubt, Kepa signed a new two-year deal before departing for Bournemouth.
His contract was originally due to expire at the end of this season, meaning he would have left in a free transfer if he didn't agree to an extension.
