Sheth said:
“Arsenal will of course have to go into the market to sign a goalkeeper (if Aaron Ramsdale leaves). And Espanyol goalkeeper, Spanish under-21 international Joan Garcia, is a player they have been monitoring. So he would fill that quota of goalkeepers who would be behind David Raya in the pecking order.”
