Kepa Arrizabalaga has been heavily linked with a move to Arsenal in recent weeks.
The Athletic Bilbao man has been impressive of late and has drawn attention from a host of clubs across Europe, including La Liga giants Real Madrid.
Kepa, who is just 23-years-old, has established himself as Bilbao’s starting goalkeeper this season and has made 11 appearances in the Spanish top flight so far.
Arsenal have been linked with some goalkeepers recently, with Petr Cech now well into his thirties. Kepa, though, is destined to stay at Athletic Bilbao for the duration of his career, according to his teammate Iago Herrerin.
As quoted by Marca, the 29-year-old lavished praise on his young compatriot and insisted that he will not leave the club for Arsenal, or anyone else for that matter.
Kepa is an Athletic Club fan until death and proves it every two times. He is young and he shows a lot [of skill], he has a mild temper and that means he is not as heated as me. It is logical that there are teams behind him, as when a prodigy or a good player appears, it is normal for them to take notice.
Athletic Bilbao want to reward Kepa with a new deal, but the Spanish international is yet to make a decision on his long-term future.
