Arsenal are reportedly keen on signing 23-year-old Spanish goalkeeper Joan Garcia from Espanyol in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Football Insider, Arsenal are expecting to win the race for the signature of Joan Garcia in the summer transfer window. The 23-year-old has been a key player for Espanyol, and he helped Spain win the gold medal during the 2024 Paris Olympics as well.
Arsenal are hoping to add more depth to the goalkeeping unit, and Garcia would be a superb addition. The Spaniard would be a long-term investment for the Premier League club, and he could compete with his compatriot David Raya for the starting spot.
The opportunity to join Arsenal will be quite attractive for the player. It would be a major step in his career, and he would get to test himself at the highest level. Arsenal are among the biggest clubs in the world, and they could provide him with the platform to fight for major trophies on a regular basis.
The Gunners have been pushing for the league title in recent seasons, and they will want to win it and the UEFA Champions League in the coming season. They need to add more quality and depth to the side. The 23-year-old goalkeeper would be a useful acquisition for them if they can get the deal across the line.
Can Arsenal get the deal done?
It remains to be seen whether they can negotiate a reasonable deal for him. Convincing the Spaniard to join them should not be difficult. Any player would be tempted to join one of the biggest clubs in the world.
Furthermore, the Spanish goalkeeper is only 23, and he could improve with coaching and experience. He could develop into the first-choice goalkeeper for Arsenal in the coming seasons. Impressive performances in England could help him cement his place in the national team as well.
It remains to be seen whether Arsenal follow up on their interest with an official offer to sign the Olympics 2024 gold medalist in the coming months now. If they can manage to sign him for a reasonable amount of money, the deal could look like a bargain in the long run.
