As one natural left-sided central defender leaves Arsenal, another is being linked with a summer transfer to the Emirates Stadium.
Last Friday the Gunners officially announced Pablo Mari had joined Monza on a permanent basis. It's understood the Spanish defender has earned the club a windfall in the region of £5.9 million as per the agreement in his loan deal which saw him help the Serie A side avoid relegation last season.
The 29-year-old was actually Mikel Arteta's first signing as Arsenal manager/head coach back in the 2020 January transfer window and now the Spaniard is being tipped to raid former club Manchester City for a replacement amid reports in Spain claiming Aymeric Laporte is a target.
