Arsenal will not move for Spanish talent until exit is confirmed | OneFootball

Arsenal are one of a number of teams that have identified Espanyol goalkeeper Joan Garcia as a potential future star, but their interest in him has been put on hold. The 23-year-old recently returned from Paris with an Olympic gold medal in hand.

Garcia broke into the Espanyol team last season, and was a key part of their promotion play-off run. Tottenham Hotspur, Real Madrid and Arsenal all showed interest in Garcia, but it seems the Gunners are most keen on him, with a potential number two opening coming up.

However with that in mind, The Athletic report that while they have lined up Garcia, they will not make a move until Aaron Ramsdale is sold. The 26-year-old was the subject of an approach from Ajax, but not a satisfactory one.

It has been said that Espanyol will ask for around €25m to allow Garcia to leave the club. His performances have seen him earn the number one spot in Cornella, and he has been capped through the age groups for Spain. His shot-stopping and size certaily impressed last season.
