Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is monitoring the situation at his former club Manchester City as he eyes a move for centre back Eric Garcia, according to reports.
The 19-year-old Spanish defender has rejected City's plans to convince him to sign a new deal at the club beyond the expiration of his contract next summer because he has been eyeing a return to Barcelona.
However, the cash-strapped Spanish giants failed to sign Garcia in the summer and they continue to be financially stricken amid the coronavirus pandemic.
And according to the Sun, Arteta is now eyeing a move for Garcia - with the pair having worked closely together at City while the former served as Pep Guardiola's assistant.
