admin Arsenal have identified Joan Garcia, Espanyol’s rising star, as a potential successor to Aaron Ramsdale, should the north Londoners decide to part ways with their current shot-stopper. The Gunners have reportedly turned down a loan approach from Ajax, indicating their preference to offload Ramsdale permanently this summer. Despite the rejection, Ajax remains hopeful about securing a deal.

Arsenal’s pursuit of a new striker has taken an intriguing turn, with reports from Portuguese outlet Record suggesting that the north Londoners have set their sights on Sporting Lisbon’s Viktor Gyokeres. The Gunners, who have already bolstered their squad with David Raya and Riccardo Calafiori, are keen to add more firepower before the transfer window shuts on August 30.
While informal talks between the Gunners and Sporting have reportedly taken place, the Portuguese side has made their stance clear. Sporting is firm in their demand, insisting that nothing short of Gyokeres’ £86 million release clause will suffice for his departure. This steep price tag is likely to be a major sticking point in any potential negotiations.
Gyokeres, who has impressed with his physical presence and goal-scoring ability, would bring a new dimension to the Gunners’ attack. However, the north Londoners are known for their careful approach to transfers, especially when it comes to meeting high release clauses. This raises questions about whether the club is willing to meet Sporting’s demands or if they will explore other options in the market.
