ARSENAL have snapped up Spain left-back Nacho Monreal after agreeing a £8.7million deal with Malaga.
He has signed a five-year deal believed to be worth around £55k a week.
Monreal, 26, was a long-standing target of boss Arsene Wenger who’s been tracking him for a couple of years since he was at Osasuna.
Arsenal were planning to move for him in the summer but brought a deal forward after Kieran Gibbs suffered a thigh injury against Liverpool which will keep him out for at least three weeks.
Wenger said: “We are delighted that Nacho Monreal has agreed to join us.
“We have been monitoring him for some time now and are really pleased that we’ve been able to agree this move today.
“Monreal is a strong left-sided defender with good experience at both club and international level.
“He is a technically-gifted player, a good crosser in the final third and strong in the air.
“Monreal will add quality to our squad and of course, to our defensive unit. We all look forward to him playing for us.”
