Kepa Arrizabalaga keen to make Real Madrid move permanent

<p>

Kepa Arrizabalaga wants to make his Real Madrid loan move permanent. </p>

<p>

The Spain international joined the LaLiga side on a season-long loan from Chelsea on Monday after number one Thibaut Courtois was ruled out for the majority of the season with an ACL injury. </p>

<p>

Kepa, 28, hopes to make an impression at the Bernabeu and extend his stay. </p>

<p>

"Will I stay after the loan? Hopefully," Kepa said at his Real Madrid unveiling on Tuesday as reported by Marca. </p>

<p>

"Today is the first day of my loan. We have time, we'll see. Hopefully with my performance I can make that happen." </p>

<p>

Kepa joined the Blues in a £71.6million switch from Athletic Bilbao in August 2018 and has made 168 appearances for the club. </p>

<p>

Carlo Ancelotti's side began their LaLiga campaign with a 2-0 win over Bilbao on Sunday, with Ukrainian goalkeeper Andriy Lunin between the sticks. </p>

<p>

"This is one of the most important and special days of my sporting career and of my life," Kepa told the club website. </p>

<p>

"I'm very proud to be at Real Madrid. I'll never be short of hard work, commitment and effort with this jersey both in training and in matches. </p>

<p>

"I hope that we can further add to Madrid's trophy cabinet and enrich the club's legend. Hala Madrid!" </p>
