Before we start breaking any fresh stories this morning, let’s recap some of the biggest news from yesterday — first up, a twist in Arsenal’s goalkeeper hunt, as reported by James McNicholas.
Arsenal are exploring a move for Bournemouth goalkeeper Neto after hitting an impasse in talks over Espanyol’s Joan Garcia.
Garcia, 23, had been identified by Arsenal as a goalkeeper to provide competition to No 1 David Raya with any move facilitated by Aaron Ramsdale’s departure from the Emirates Stadium this summer. A deal has been agreed for Ramsdale to Southampton for a fee of £25million and he underwent his medical today.
However, Espanyol are not moving from Garcia’s €30million release clause and the discussions have stalled.
The proposed move for Neto is expected to be a loan deal.
