The Spanish goalkeeper previously had just 12 months remaining on his contract, however he has signed a one-year extension so the club can protect his transfer value

It marks another turn in Kepa’s rollercoaster career since joining Chelsea. Kepa arrived at Stamford Bridge as the most-expensive goalkeeper in history when he moved from Athletic Club in August 2018 in an €80 million ($89.3m) deal.

AFC chief executive Neil Blake said: “We are delighted to have a player of Kepa’s calibre join Bournemouth. “We recognise

that he is available and wanted to take the opportunity to bring him on loan.

“We believe he will be an exciting addition to our goalkeeping team.”
