Arsenal are reportedly preparing a late window swoop for one of LALIGA's goalkeeping gems.
Arsenal are bracing for the exit of England international goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale and have set their sights on Espanyol's Joan Garcia as the ideal replacement.
The Gunners signed Ramsdale from Bournemouth in the summer of 2021 and immediately became their first-choice stopper. He retained the mantle in the 2022/23 campaign, in which he was integral to Arsenal's shocking push for the Premier League title; he made the Team of the Season for his troubles.
