Pablo Mari is a member of this season's 29-man-strong Arsenal loan army but it's looking increasingly likely that he will be joining Monza on a permanent basis when the summer transfer window opens.
The Spaniard, who was actually Mikel Arteta's first signing as Gunners boss in January 2020 when he initially joined on loan from Brazilian side Flamengo, has been with the Serie A newcomers since the beginning of the season and immediately established himself as a mainstay in central defence.
However, there was an unfortunate incident back in October when he was stabbed during an attack in a Milan supermarket. After undergoing surgery to have two muscles repaired, Mari opened up on the ordeal: "After the tough time we had yesterday, both my family and I want to communicate that thankfully we are all fine despite the circumstances and to thank all the messages of support and love we are receiving," he said, as per the Mirror.
