BBC Sport says Arsenal will trigger Kepa's £5m buyout clause to take him across London with a deal to be settled potentially this week.

Arsenal will sign Kepa to compete with David Raya for No1 status next season after deciding against a permanent deal for Neto, who spent last season on-loan from Bournemouth.

Kepa originally joined Chelsea in 2018 for £72m from Athletic Bilbao.
