Kepa's Future at Arsenal in Doubt

Kepa's future at Arsenal is in jeopardy as the London club is close to signing French goalkeeper Illan Meslier, a move that could impact the goalkeeper hierarchy within the team for the upcoming season.

According to "CaughtOffside," Meslier is set to join Arsenal on a free transfer after his stint with Leeds United, opening the door for speculation regarding Kepa's future.

The report adds that opinions remain divided on Meslier's role within the team, with some predictions suggesting Kepa will remain as the second-choice keeper, while the French goalkeeper becomes the third option. However, reports have confirmed that Kepa's stay at Arsenal is not guaranteed, indicating that the Spanish keeper is open to leaving if he receives an opportunity for a starting role at another club.

Kepa joined Arsenal from Chelsea last summer but has not had many chances to play. Despite being relied upon as the team's goalkeeper in the English League Cup and starting in the final against Manchester City, his performance in the 2-0 defeat was not convincing.

The report notes that Kepa's departure would not upset a significant portion of Arsenal fans, who may view Meslier's arrival as a suitable option to strengthen the goalkeeper position within the team.
