Chelsea have completed the signing of striker Liam Delap from Ipswich Town. Delap makes the switch after a £30m release clause in his Ipswich contract became active following the team's relegation from the Premier League.

Chelsea will pay £20m of the fee up front. Ipswich also hold a sell-on clause as part of the deal.

Arsenal have made Chelsea's Kepa Arrizabalaga their main target as they seek to recruit a backup goalkeeper this summer.

With Neto returning to Bournemouth after his loan, Arsenal are light on experienced goalkeeper options. After missing out on Espanyol's Joan Garcia, who looks poised to join Barcelona, Arsenal are turning their attention towards the 30-year-old. While other options remain under consideration, Arrizabalaga is currently the preferred candidate.

The Spain international, who spent last season on loan at Bournemouth, has a £5million release clause in his Chelsea contract. Arsenal see that as a potential market opportunity, enabling them to recruit a goalkeeper with Premier League and Champions League experience for an affordable fee.

I actually think Man United should sign Kepa. He'd be a massive step up on Onana. And for only £5m? Ok, he's not elite, but Onana is the worst keeper I can remember Utd having in my lifetime.
