Arsenal Looks at Goalkeeper Joan Garcia Amid Ajax Interest in Ramsdale

Arsenal Football Club is reportedly considering a move for Espanyol goalkeeper Joan Garcia as speculation grows around Aaron Ramsdale's future at the Emirates Stadium. David Raya has solidified his position as the first-choice goalkeeper after joining Arsenal on loan from Brentford last season and subsequently making a permanent switch. This shift has left Ramsdale, who was previously the starting keeper, facing the prospect of seeking a new club to secure regular first-team action. Ajax has shown interest in Ramsdale, having previously had a loan request turned down. The Dutch club is contemplating a renewed offer, while other Premier League teams, including Southampton and Newcastle, are also rumored to be monitoring the situation. Ramsdale's potential departure could open the door for Arsenal to pursue additional goalkeeping options, including Garcia, who has spent his entire career at Espanyol. At just 23 years old, Garcia has made a total of 29 appearances for Espanyol, although only three of those were in LaLiga. His move to Arsenal would mark a significant step in his career, aligning him with a club that finished as runners-up in the Premier League last season. Arsenal's summer transfer activity has already seen the arrivals of Riccardo Calafiori and Raya, contributing to a successful window thus far. In terms of player departures, Emile Smith Rowe is the only senior player to have left the club permanently, transferring to Fulham for a fee of £27 million.
