His two saves were top class stops and he made a confident punching clearance. From 11 appearances he has delivered two clean sheets but will be challenged to improve that in the Cherries next against Man United at Old Trafford. The Reds have scored in each of their last three matches and will be buoyed by their derby win over City in their last.

DECEMBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Solid performance in win over Ipswich Arrizabalaga recorded four saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 2-1 victory over Ipswich Town.

Impact Kepa put in a solid performance Sunday. He saved four of the five shots he faced on target and also made an important clearing punch. The Spaniard has now conceded an average of 1.5 goals per game, which is middle of the pack when compared to his EPL peers.

Impact Kepa posted his best performance yet for the Cherries Thursday. Along with his fours saves he contributed two punches and two clearances.

Concedes two in victory Arrizabalaga recorded one save and allowed two goals in Saturday's 4-2 win over Wolverhampton.

Impact Kepa was not called into action much on Saturday. He faced just three shots on target, saving one and making a clearing punch. He has now conceded an average of 1.8 goals per match, one of the poorer performances versus his EPL peers, and he has posted just one clean sheet from eight matches. It is unlikely he'll not concede in the Cherries next against Tottenham, at 27 strikes Spurs have currently scored more goals than anyone else in the EPL.

DECEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Concedes two in disappointing performance Arrizabalaga registered two saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Brighton.

Impact Kepa could have done better to hold an initial strike that led to the Seagulls opening goal Saturday, and he was only able to stop two of the four shots he faced on target. The Chelsea loanee is not enjoying a distinguishing term at the Cherries, he has delivered just one clean sheet in seven appearances and conceded an average of 1.7 goals per match, one of the poorer performances versus his EPL peers. The Spaniard might be under pressure to keep his starting spot from Mark Travers who put in outstanding showings when the regular starter was out recently through injury.

NOVEMBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Concedes three in lackluster performance Arrizabalaga had three saves and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-2 defeat versus Brentford.

Impact Kepa was not convincing in Saturday's loss to Brighton. He saved just three of the six shots he faced on target, and could have done better to stop some of the conceded goals. The Chelsea loanee has not made any distinguishing performances since joining the Cherries this season, his starting slot may be under threat from Mark Travers who put in three assertive performances in the prior games while the Spaniard was out with a thigh injury.

OCTOBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

First clean sheet in win over Gunners Arrizabalaga had one save and allowed zero goals in Saturday's 2-0 victory versus Arsenal.

Impact Kepa surprisingly did not have much to do Saturday in an encounter with Arsenal where he faced only one shot on goal. From his five appearances since joining as a loanee from Chelsea this was his first clean sheet. He will be challenged to deliver another in the Cherries next which is away to in-form Aston Villa. The Villains put three past Fulham in their last and have not lost in their last six.

OCTOBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Concedes one in loss to Foxes Arrizabalaga recorded one save and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Leicester City.

Impact Kepa was not called into action much on Saturday. He faced just two shots on target and the conceded goal was a well taken strike that he could do little about. The Chelsea loanee has yet to produce a clean sheet from his four appearances and he is unlikely to do so in the Cherries next against title contending Arsenal.

OCTOBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Concedes one in win Arrizabalaga recorded two saves and allowed one goal in Monday's 3-1 win versus Southampton.

Impact Kepa was not overstretched in Monday's game. One of his two saves took extraordinary skill but other than that his performance was pretty pedestrian. The conceded goal was not down to an error on his part. The Spaniard, who joined the Cherries on loan from Chelsea in August, played well in his previous two games. He is yet to post a clean sheet but he might get an opportunity to change that in Bournemouth's next against Leicester. The Foxes have yet to win a match this season.

OCTOBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Concedes three but makes nine saves Arrizabalaga made nine saves and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-0 loss against Liverpool.

Impact Kepa had direct responsibility in Liverpool's first goal, as he tried to rush out of the box in a long ball from Ibrahima Konate, but he was left out of the sequence midway through his attempt to close Luis Diaz down. Kepa didn't have a lot of responsibility in the other two goals he conceded, but it's worth noting that Bournemouth could've lost by a bigger margin hadn't it been for him. Arrizabalaga will try to bounce back against Southampton on Sep. 30.

SEPTEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Option again Arrizabalaga is eligible to face Liverpool on Saturday after being loan-locked.

Impact Arrizabalaga is back in the fold for the Cherries, as he can once again be a part of the team sheet after sitting out against Chelsea due to being loan-locked. He will look to assume back the starting role, as he did start in the match prior to being loan-locked.

SEPTEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Loan locked Arrizabalaga is loan-locked for Saturday's clash with Chelsea.

Impact Arrizabalaga isn't available to play against his parent club and will be out for Saturday's match. With the goalkeeper on the sideline it will be Mark Travers who gets the start for Saturday's match. Travers kept two clean sheets in four Premier League appearances last year.

SEPTEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Concedes two in Cherries debut Arrizabalaga made six saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 3-2 victory against Everton.

Impact Kepa posted a solid inaugural Bournemouth performance Saturday following his late transfer window loan move from Chelsea. He made a series of big saves that kept his conceded goal total to two, that transpired to be crucial given the Cherries late three goal comeback to secure all three points. With former starting keeper Neto on loan to Arsenal, Kepa looks to be the choice starter between the sticks. He will not play in Bournemouth's next game, which is against his home club Chelsea, likely Mark Travers will assume the role for that match.

Kepa Arrizabalaga, the world's most expensive goalkeeper, sent out on loan again by Chelsea

Kepa Arrizabalaga has left Chelsea to go on a season-long loan at English Premier League rival Bournemouth

AUGUST 29 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Extends contract, loaned out Arrizabalaga signed a contract extension and will play for Bournemouth on loan for the rest of the 2024/25 season.

Impact Last season Arrizabalaga was on loan to Real Madrid, where he started 13 of 14 La Liga matches. He had 30 saves and seven clean sheets in that span before his starting position was taken away by Andriy Lunin. The keeper will remain with Chelsea but will join the Cherries on a season-long loan to regain his full fitness. However, Bournemouth have a lot of competition for starting goalkeeper with Neto being their starter four the last two campaign, so it is unclear if Arrizabalaga will be able to reclaim a starting position in the league.

AUGUST 29 • ROTOWIRE

Subs in for Madrid farewell Arrizabalaga made one save after coming off the bench during Saturday's scoreless draw against Betis.

Impact Arrizabalaga was brought off the bench just after the hour mark to play his final minutes as a Real Madrid player since his loan is set to expire next month. The goalkeeper subbed in for Thibaut Courtois and did well the lone time he was called into action to help his team finish the championship-winning campaign with one more point to their account. Brought at the start of the season to fill in for an injured Courtois, Kepa suffered a groin injury in November and saw Andriy Lunin make most of the opportunity to jump ahead of him in the rotation. In his 14 league appearances (13 starts), the Chelsea loanee didn't disappoint, with 30 saves, just nine goals allowed and seven clean sheets.

MAY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Gets rare start Arrizabalaga had three saves and secured a clean sheet in Friday's 1-0 win over Real Sociedad.

Impact Arrizabalaga got his first start since Jan 21 after Andriy Lunin won the starting role over him. He did a solid job filling in for him, keeping a clean sheet with three saves. The keeper is set to return to the bench for Tuesday's trip to Bayern Munich for the UCL semifinals.

APRIL 29 • ROTOWIRE

Concedes two goals Arrizabalaga recorded no saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 3-2 win versus Almeria.

Impact Largie Ramazani and Edgar Gonzalez scored two first-half goals against Arrizabalaga. He was unable to log any saves in either of the halves, thereby cementing his first 2024 appearance as a bad one. Andriy Lunin is expected to re-enter Real Madrid's starting XI at Las Palmas on Saturday, likely demoting Arrizabalaga back to the bench.
