Transfer News: Arsenal offer ₦35 Billion to sign LaLiga star ahead of deadline

Arsenal are reportedly closing in on signing Espanyol goalkeeper Joan Garcia, with the club already agreeing personal terms with the player.

The 23-year-old Spanish goalkeeper has been identified as the replacement for Aaron Ramsdale, who is expected to leave the club to join Southampton.

Garcia has a £25 million release clause in his contract, but Arsenal believe they can secure him for less, with just two days left in the transfer window.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealed that Arsenal's offer has not been accepted, with Espanyol holding out for the full release clause.

The signing of Garcia would be a significant addition to Arsenal's squad, with the goalkeeper impressing in his performances for Espanyol last season.

Raya will remain first choice between the sticks for Arteta but Garcia will be expected to provide strong competition.
