This seems a slightly risky move by Arsenal, with Monreal showing himself to be a solid performer for the club down the years at either left-back or centre-back.
The experienced Spaniard may, however, be past his best now and set to fall down the pecking order due to the summer signing of Kieran Tierney from Celtic.
Still, that only leaves Unai Emery with Sead Kolasinac as backup to Tierney, with the Bosnian a rather less convincing performer at the back for the north Londoners.
