"I'm getting used to my new life: a new city, new team, but it's been positive because when things start well on the pitch, it makes everything easier," Arrizabalaga told Spanish paper AS.

Arrizabalaga, who was called up to the Spain squad for their UEFA Nations League matches against Croatia and England, said moving to London as Thibaut Courtois' replacement had felt like the right move.

"I'm happy to take this step, I want to enjoy it... I have felt valued. In the last few years, a lot of Spaniards have done important things here and that's good for those of us to arrive most recently."
