Arsenal move forward with Premier League goalkeeper after Espanyol deal stalls

Gunners agree terms with English goalkeeper ahead of summer move

Talks with Espanyol keeper break down

Arsenal have reportedly reached an agreement to sign a Premier League goalkeeper, following the breakdown of talks with Espanyol's Joan Garcia.

The Gunners have been linked with a number of goalkeepers in recent months, as they look to strengthen their options behind Aaron Ramsdale.

According to The Athletic, Arsenal have now agreed a deal to sign a Premier League goalkeeper, who is expected to join the club on a free transfer in the summer.

• The goalkeeper in question is said to be 28 years old.
• He has made over 100 appearances in the Premier League.
• He is a current England international.

The news comes as a blow to Arsenal's hopes of signing Garcia, who has been their primary target for the goalkeeper position.

However, the Spanish goalkeeper is now expected to sign a new contract with Espanyol, which will keep him at the club until 2027.

The signing of a Premier League goalkeeper will be a significant boost for Arsenal, as they look to challenge for the Premier League title next season.

The new goalkeeper will provide competition for Ramsdale, who has been Arsenal's first-choice goalkeeper for the majority of the 2022/23 season.

Arsenal are also closing in on the signing of Leandro Trossard from Brighton, which would further strengthen their squad ahead of the summer.
