Agreement Reached – Arsenal Close to Sealing another Significant Deal

The reigning FA Cup champions Arsenal started the title defense in style by beating Sunderland at the Emirates Stadium.
As far as the transfer news is concerned, there have been reports in the media claiming that Arsenal are close to sealing (Sky Sports) the transfer of Basel’s star defensive midfielder Mohamed Elneny.
Securing Elneny is going to be Arsenal’s most important signing of the winter transfer window because they lack quality and depth in the midfield due to injury concerns.

On the other hand, there are reports suggesting that Arsenal are close to sealing another significant deal by extending Nacho Monreal’s contract.
Goal UK reports that Arsenal have reached an agreement with the Spanish international to extend his contract until 2019.
The 29-year-old full back has been a vital member of the squad and deserves a new contract based on his consistent performances. Monreal has featured in 25 games this season and has provided 3 assists for the Gunners.
