Eibar midfielder Joan Jordan wanted by Arsenal

Arsenal have joined the race to sign in demand Eibar midfielder Joan Jordan, according to reports in Marca this weekend.

Jordan, who joined the Basque side in 2017, has impressed as a regular in their midfield in the past two seasons, and the 24-year old has been the subject of intense transfer speculation, with clubs in Spain and England linked with him.

Currently, Jordan has a €15m release clause in his contract, which expires in June 2020, so Eibar could be willing to do a deal that is a lower fee than the clause – however they are unlikely to drop under €10m as 20% of any sale goes to his former club Espanyol.
