Espanyol goalkeeper Joan Garcia has dropped his strongest hint yet that he would be keen on a move to Arsenal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Gunners considered making a move for the 23-year-old<\/a> last summer<\/a> in their attempts to provide cover and competition for David Raya<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Former Brentford<\/a> star Raya is now firmly established at the club’s No.1 but the decision to sanction the sale of Aaron Ramsdale left Mikel Artea short of a reliable backup.<\/p>\n

Arsenal laid a significant amount of groundwork to sign Garcia, but eventually opted to divert their budget elsewhere and instead signed the experienced Neto on loan.<\/p>\n

It remains to be seen whether or not the Brazilian signs permanently in the summer but Garcia appears hopeful that Arsenal will revive their interest.<\/p>\n

He told Mundo Deportivo<\/a>: “I am a very cold person in every sense and I think that this attitude helps me. I am very calm at Espanyol, with an opportunity that I have been waiting for a long time,”<\/p>\n

‘It will be for the good of everyone (if I leave). Mine and the club, which is the one that has made me grow. It can’t be any other way.’<\/p>\n

Arteta, meanwhile remains \u2018uncertain\u2019 whether or not Raya will be fit enough to make his return against Manchester City on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Raya has been in sensational form this season and had been a near ever-present before he was forced to miss Wednesday\u2019s win over Girona.<\/p>\n

Arteta refused to reveal the nature of the 29-year-old\u2019s injury in the wake of a 2-1 win that cemented Arsenal\u2019s place in the last 16 without the need for a play-off.<\/p>\n

On Thursday Arsenal were said to be optimistic that Raya would return and retain his place from Neto, who gave a worrying performance on his debut, but Arteta was giving little away in Friday\u2019s pre-match press conference.<\/p>\n

‘David we\u2019re still uncertain,\u2019 he said. \u2018We have another session tomorrow. We have 48 hours so we will have to see.\u2019<\/p>\n

Arteta subsequently added that the injury was \u2018muscular\u2019 while he also confirmed Ben White is still several weeks away from making his eagerly anticipated comeback.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
