Kepa Arrizabalaga Revuelta (born 3 October 1994) is a Spanish footballer who plays for Real Valladolid on loan from Athletic Bilbao as a goalkeeper.

Club career

Born in Ondarroa, Biscay, Basque Country, Arrizabalaga joined Athletic Bilbao's youth setup at Lezama in 2004, aged ten. He made his senior debuts with the farm team in 2011, in Tercera División.

On 5 May 2012, Arrizabalaga was called up to the main squad for a La Liga match against Getafe CF,[1] but remained unused in the 0–0 draw at the San Mamés Stadium.[2] He was also called up to pre-season in July, and on 23 September was also a substitute in another home game of the same outcome, against Málaga CF.[3]

Arrizabalaga was promoted to the reserves in January 2013, to cover for injured Jon Ander Serantes.[4] He made his debut for the B-side on 16 February 2013, keeping a clean sheet in a 1–0 win over UD Logroñés for the Segunda División B championship.[5] On 3 March, he was sent off towards the end of a 3–1 home win over SD Amorebieta, as was teammate Jon García;[6] in April he suffered a pubalgia, only returning to the fields in September.[7]

Arrizabalaga appeared regularly for the B's after his return, but broke the first metatarsus of his right hand in January 2014,[8] being sidelined for a month. On 11 March, Getafe submitted a loan request to the Lions for him, mainly as a replacement to injured Miguel Ángel Moyá,[9] but it was rejected a day later.[10]

On 5 January 2015, Arrizabalaga was loaned to Segunda División's SD Ponferradina until June.[11] He finally made his professional debut on the 11th, starting in a 1–1 home draw against Racing de Santander.[12]

On 20 July 2015, Arrizabalaga moved to Real Valladolid also in the second tier, in a season-long loan deal.[13] He played his first competitive game on 22 August, in a 0–1 loss at Córdoba CF.[14]

International career

After appearing for under-18s, Arrizabalaga was called up to the under-19 team for that year's UEFA European Championship. He was an undisputed starter during the tournament, as his side were crowned champions;[15] highlights included a 3–3 semi-final success against France, where he saved two penalties in the shootout.[16]

Arrizabalaga missed the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup due to injury, being replaced by Rubén Yáñez.[17] On 8 November 2013 he was called up to the under-21 team, along with Athletic teammate Iker Muniain.[18]
