Arsenal have stepped up their efforts to sign goalkeeper Joan Garcia from Espanyol after further talks last week.
Atletico Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen and Barcelona have all expressed firm interest in the 23-year old but he has shown a willingness to accept the challenge of competing for the number one slot at Arsenal with compatriot David Raya.
Arsenal have long been on his trail, but a fee has still to be agreed.
Espanyol are two points above the relegation places and it is understood that should they go down, Garcia's price would be around £13million.
