Arsenal are progressing with a deal to sign Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga and are expected to trigger the £5m release clause in his contract.
Arsenal are understood to be impressed with Kepa's desire to join and fight for his place in the team.
Once finalised, Kepa will compete with David Raya after Neto returned to Bournemouth from his loan spell at the Emirates.
The Spanish stopper was signed by Chelsea in the summer of 2018 from Athletic Club for £71.8m, a world record transfer fee for a goalkeeper at the time. He is available at such a low fee due to a release clause in a Chelsea contract which he signed before joining Bournemouth on loan last season.
The 30-year-old was Bournemouth's first-choice goalkeeper last season, making 35 starts as Andoni Iraola's team produced their best-ever Premier League finish.
