Football fans around the world are on the edge of their seats as rumors swirl about Espanyol goalkeeper Joan Garcia potentially moving to Arsenal. The 23-year-old shot-stopper has reportedly agreed to personal terms with the Gunners, sending shockwaves through the football community.
However, Espanyol boss Manolo Gonzalez is not ready to let Garcia go without a fight. Despite Arsenal’s interest in signing him as a replacement for the outgoing Aaron Ramsdale, Gonzalez is adamant about keeping the talented goalkeeper at the club. He praised Garcia’s abilities, calling him a “very good goalkeeper” and expressing his desire for Garcia to remain with Espanyol.
Ramsdale, who has fallen down the pecking order at Arsenal following the arrival of David Raya, is rumored to be considering his options. Clubs like Ajax and Southampton are reportedly interested in acquiring the English goalkeeper, with Southampton even making a formal bid for his services.
Garcia, on the other hand, has downplayed the speculation linking him to Arsenal, focusing on his current commitments with Espanyol. Despite starting in both of Espanyol’s La Liga matches so far this season, Garcia’s future at the club remains uncertain as reports suggest he has already agreed to personal terms with Arsenal.
In other Arsenal news, the club completed their third signing of the transfer window with the confirmation of Mikel Merino’s arrival. Merino joins Raya and Riccardo Calafiori as new additions to the Arsenal squad this summer, signing a long-term contract with the club.
