Chelsea's new world record goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga has revealed he is determined to go down in history as one of the club's greatest keepers.

Kepa completed a £71.6m deal from Athletic Bilbao on Wednesday, which makes him the most expensive shot-stopper in the world.

The Spain international has also signed a seven-year contract worth around £190,000-a-week and is ready to make his debut in Chelsea's opening league game at Huddersfield if selected on Saturday.

But the 23-year-old is already focused on helping the club win several trophies during a long spell as Chelsea's first-choice keeper.

He said: "I'd like to be remembered at this club when I leave years down the line as a goalkeeper that has helped the club win a lot of titles and gone down in history in that way.

"All clubs need to fight to win titles and all players want is to win. So what I would like is to win more titles for the club. This is what I aspire to do.

"On a personal level I'd like to be remembered as someone who got on with everyone. A likeable person who people enjoyed having around.

"I just want to let the fans know that I am looking forward and am excited to start playing for the club. I have come prepared to work really hard. We have a very exciting season ahead of us so let's go for it and see what we can achieve together."

Chelsea made a shock late move to trigger the £71.6m release clause in Arrizabalaga's contract on Monday as Thibaut Courtois went on strike to force a move to Real Madrid.

Arrizabalaga has revealed he sought the advice of Chelsea's Spanish contingent in the squad before committing to the switch.

He added on Chelsea TV: "I know all the Spanish players that I have played with in the various age groups for Spain. I spoke to various players before I came here: Cesar Azpilicueta, Alvaro Morata, Pedro.

"I had excellent references from them about the club. It has been a great support for me over the last few days.

"It has been a very important decision for me, a tough decision for me for my personal life.

"What attracted me to Chelsea? Everything. All the titles the club has won. All the players at the club, the city, the Premier League. It is an accumulation of things really and I'm delighted the club has signed me.

"Of course there are many great players here like N'Golo Kante, Eden Hazard and Olivier Giroud. It is a squad full of fantastic players."

The 23-year-old also confirmed he is a huge admirer of coach Maurizio Sarri and has vowed to bring solidity to Chelsea on the pitch.

"I am really looking forward to working with Sarri and having my first training session," he said. "I have heard great things about him, great references. I can't wait to see that first hand, to meet him and work with him.

"I think his style is not too different from the one used in the Spanish national team or in many national teams. I believe my qualities will fit in well with his style.

"I personally like his style, the way he thinks, the way he wants his team to play. It's aggressive, he likes to attack and put pressure on the opposition.

"I'd say I'm a calm, settled keeper. I think I try to convey a calmness to the team. It is really important that the team feel they have behind them a keeper that is feeling in control."
