Nacho Monreal has confirmed talks are ongoing over a new deal at Arsenal
NACHO MONREAL claims he is in talks with Arsenal over extending his stay at the club.
The Spaniard was been heavily linked with a move back to Spain to join Athletic Bilbao.However, he has firmly established himself as the Gunners' first-choice left-back and has now set his sights on signing an extension to his current contract, which expires at the end of the season."We are talking [with the club], we need to talk and reach an agreement. I wish that to happen. Of course I’d like to stay here," he told talkSPORT.Since joining from Malaga in 2013, the 29-year-old has had to battle for a spot in the back four with Kieran Gibbs.He has endured long spells on the sidelines but is now a key part of Arsene Wenegr's side, while club legend Thierry Henry has been quick to praise him.When asked to outline the players who are key to their season, Henry said: “The back four is also doing very well."[Hector] Bellerin is doing well, Nacho Monreal is showing why he is at Arsenal and Petr Cech is doing what he is supposed to.”
