Mikel Arteta's Arsenal are interested in signing Espanyol's Joan Garcia as an alternate for David Raya, as per Spanish outlet Fichajes. Garcia has been a part of Espanyol since 2016. The 22-year-old has played for the youth sides of the Spanish club and has eventually made a place for himself in the senior team.
Joan Garcia has played 47 matches for the senior team, conceding 51 goals and keeping 15 clean sheets. He has started all 18 La Liga games for Espanyol this season, helping the side keep two clean sheets. Nevertheless, his performance has been enough to get Mikel Arteta's attention.
The Spanish tactician sees Joan Garcia as a future investment and David Raya's alternate at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners parted ways with Aaron Ramsdale as they signed Raya on a permanent deal from Brentford earlier this year.
