“It’s an accumulation of things, and I am very glad Chelsea has decided to trust me and to take me in as well.”
Kepa joins fellow Spaniard Cesar Azpilicueta at Chelsea and the defender has already been helping his compatriot feel at home at his new club.
Azpilicueta and Kepa have been hanging out at Chelsea’s training ground and the defender confirmed he gave the keeper a tour around Cobham when he first arrived.
But Azpilicueta was also on hand to ensure Blues supporters know exactly how to say the new signing’s name.

“Hi, you’ve mastered my name already and now its time to learn his name,” Azpilicueta said in a video released on Chelsea’s Twitter account.
Kepa then demonstrated exactly how to pronounce his unusual name.
And while fans absolutely loved it on Twitter, many are keen just to call him Kepa.
