David Luiz believes Chelsea's impending signing of Kepa Arrizabalaga represents a huge show of ambition.
Having failed to report for pre-season training, Thibaut Courtois in on the verge of completing a £35million move to Real Madrid to compete with Keylor Navas for the No.1 position.
Chelsea have reacted quickly to the blow of losing a key component of their two most recent title-winning sides by activating Kepa's £71million release clause and the 23-year-old is en route to London ahead of his medical.
The will represent a world record for a goalkeeper, surpassing the £65m Liverpool paid for Alisson last month and Luiz cannot wait to play alongside the Spain international.
'He is a great keeper, that is why everybody is talking about him,' Luiz told reporters.
'The financial side - every club in the world spends money, not just Chelsea.
'The numbers don't matter, we are happy because Chelsea are always doing the best for the club.'When you play for Chelsea you have to think about titles, it doesn't matter the name of the competition. We have to always try to win.
'That has to be the mentality of every single player when you play for a big club like Chelsea. We are going to fight for that.'
