Transfer News: Arsenal target Valencia left-back
|Although Nacho Monreal has been solid at left-back over the last few seasons, the Spaniard is not getting any younger and has become increasingly vulnerable to opposing winger’s pace. Due to his poor form the Mirror reports that Arsenal are looking at Valencia’s, José Luis Gaya to reinforce that position in the summer.
The Spanish 21-year-old is one of the most promising full-backs in the world at the moment and has been identified by Arsenal as their future left-back, indeed, in tandem with Bellerin, Arsenal could have the best fullback pairing in the world and probably the future full-backs for La Roja. However, as we saw during august for Shkodran Mustafi, Valencia are tough negotiators and a transfer could be very costly, especially as Gaya signed a new contract last year.
