Who is Joan Garcia? The £21m transfer target ‘soon’ to be Arsenal star

Espanyol star Joan Garcia is the latest name being linked to an Arsenal transfer this summer. Mikel Arteta’s priority remains strengthening in midfield, football.london understands, though unique market opportunities could alter plans with a new attacker possibly being signed.

Because of financial concerns, it is unlikely that any marquee deals are sanctioned over the coming months. Instead, it appears Arteta wants to raise the floor of his squad as opposed to elevating the ceiling with his most recent transfer comments hinting at exactly that.




“[We] look again,” Arteta told CNN when asked about transfers. “All the margins, squad-wise, the process that we have at the football club, our methodology, especially on how we can make our players better, more competitive, more consistent and cause them to raise the level and be better than the previous season

“I think our focus has to be with what we have already in house. How can we be better? There are margins and there are players that can still develop and be better and that’s the objective that we have.” Despite that, Arsenal have been linked to several players in a number of different positions.

As for the goalkeeping department, with Aaron Ramsdale possibly moving on, Arsenal could be targeting a new shot-stopper. Feyenoord’s Justin Bijlow has already been mooted as an option with Espanyol’s Garcia, currently valued at €25million (£21.2m), another name linked with Spanish journalist Gerard Romero going as far as saying he will soon be an Arsenal player.

With that in mind, football.london has taken a look at Garcia’s career thus far, the latest on his future and what he could bring to Arsenal.
