He went on to add that the 23-year-old Spanish goalkeeper is a top priority to replace Aaron Ramsdale should the England keeper leave the North London club this summer.
“He’s the priority target for Arsenal to replace Aaron Ramsdale if he leaves in the final 10 days.
“Espanyol are aware of #AFC interest but no official bid yet, depends on Ramsdale.” Romano added.
Meanwhile, Arsenal began the new season with a 2-0 win against Wolves at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Kai Havertz gave Mikel Arteta’s men the lead in the 25th minute after profiting from Bukayo Saka’s cross.
The Gunners then doubled their advantage in the 74th minute through Saka who hung a powerful left-foot shot into the right corner after the visitors were caught out by a quickly taken free-kick.
