Arsenal eyeing swoop to sign Joan Garcia this summer

Arsenal are reportedly considering signing Espanyol star Joan Garcia in this transfer window.

It appears Arsenal are more focused on selling some stars to raise funds and after trimming down their squad, they could look to sign some new faces in the later stages of this window.

Mikel Arteta’s side have already let Albert Sambi Lokonga and Nuno Tavares leave, while Reiss Nelson and Emile Smith Rowe have been linked with a move away from the club.

Additionally, Eddie Nketiah is expected to be sold and Aaron Ramsdale could also look to leave to play regular first-team football having found himself on the periphery last season.

The report further claims that the Gunners have been monitoring his current situation before making any potential swoop and he has a £21m release clause included in his current contract.

Garcia enjoyed a promising campaign in La Liga 2 last term, helping the Catalan side secure their top-flight status. The Spaniard, standing at 6ft 3in tall, is comfortable with the ball at his feet, is efficient in the air and is also an excellent shot-stopper.

So, the 23-year-old could be a good signing for Arsenal with a view to the long-term future if they purchase him. However, he has been called up to play for Spain in the Olympics and that could complicate the move.
