But at that point the 22-year-old was keen to remain with the Spanish giants – whom he left as a youth player to join Manchester City’s academy – to fight for his place.now report that the centre-back won’t accept a similar role next season and is likely to leave the club., with the Arsenal boss well aware of his attributes having worked with him while assistant to Pep Guardiola at Man City.
Garcia operates predominently as a right centre-back but can also play at right-back, in a similar vein to Ben White.
