​Arsenal, Real Madrid discouraged as Athletic Bilbao keeper Kepa set to sign new contract

Arsenal and Real Madrid have been left frustrated in their pursuit of Athletic Bilbao keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga.

The 23-year-old, whose current deal expires next summer, has been strongly linked with both sides in the past.

However, according to Spanish source Marca, the talented keeper is set to agree to a new deal worth around £2.7million per year with Bilbao.

The new deal is expected to have a huge release clause of £66.5m.
