Galatasaray are reportedly considering a late move for Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga, despite widespread claims that the Spaniard is on the verge of joining Arsenal.
 

The 30-year-old has been heavily linked with a switch to the Emirates in recent weeks, with several reports suggesting the move is all but finalised.

However, a fresh twist has now emerged regarding Kepa's future.

According to reliable Turkish journalist Yagiz Sabuncuoglu, Galatasaray have made contact over a potential deal for the Chelsea shot-stopper.

Arsenal are still understood to be leading the race for the Spain international, but the Turkish giants have reportedly enquired about his situation.

While a move to Arsenal is said to be agreed in principle, Kepa's final decision could prove decisive. It remains to be seen whether Galatasaray can tempt him to make the switch to Istanbul instead.
