Athletic Bilbao keeper Kepa tells agents to keep Real Madrid, Arsenal at arm's length

Athletic Bilbao goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga has asked his agents not to speak to him about the offers arriving.

Off contract in June, Kepa is being linked with Real Madrid, Arsenal and Napoli.

The Spain U21 international is aware of the interest, but doesn't wish for the speculation to distract him this season.

Marca says he has asked his agents not to contact him - nor Athletic - with any offers as he wants to maintain a good relationship with management.

Kepa hasn't ruled out signing a new deal with Athletic before the New Year.
