Kepa Arrizabalaga reveals Chelsea talks are scheduled as goalkeeper drops future hint amid impressive spell on loan at Bournemouth

Kepa has recaptured his form at Bournemouth following a difficult spell at his parent club. Although his loan deal has no option to buy at the end of it, the Cherries are reportedly keen to make the signing permanent this summer. However, the stopper has made no guarantees about his future.

Speaking in a recent interview, the Spaniard admitted talks about his future are scheduled with Chelsea in the coming weeks. He said: "Obviously what I can say is that I'm really happy and I'm enjoying my playing time here. I think I'm showing that and I'm feeling well on the pitch. It's not the time to think about the future, we're going to take the decision, we're in touch with everybody and now I'm under contract with Chelsea. We have some conversations to have, they will happen in the next few weeks and then we'll decide."

While the 30-year-old admits he is enjoying his time at the Vitality Stadium, he may want to take time in the summer to reassess his options. Kepa spent a season on loan at Real Madrid before making the journey back to England and he may feel he can take a step up after getting his form back in the Premier League.

Either way, it seems unlikely that Kepa remains at Chelsea beyond the summer. His Blues contract is valid until the summer of 2026, leaving little time for the West London club to cash in on him if there are any suitable offers this summer.
