Arsenal-linked goalkeeper Joan Garcia is reportedly set to join FC Barcelona this summer.
 

The Gunners are one of several European clubs that have been heavily linked with a summer move for the 24-year-old Espanyol goalkeeper.

Manchester City, Barcelona, Bournemouth and Newcastle have also been mentioned as possible destinations.

Now, it appears the player has made his choice.

Italian journalist Lorenzo Lepore reports that Joan Garcia has agreed a deal to join Barcelona.

Both clubs are said to have reached an agreement on a €25 million deal, with the Spanish keeper set to undergo medical tests in the coming days.

This news comes as a major blow to Mikel Arteta's side, with previous reports suggesting Garcia was Arsenal's top target to strengthen the goalkeeping department this summer.
