Official: Udinese confirm the loan signing of Pablo Mari



Udinese have signed Arsenal defender Pablo Mari on loan until the end of the season, the Italian club announced on Thursday.
                                

The 28-year-old Spaniard has struggled for game time with the Premier League side this season, making three appearances in all competitions.

He is a player who combines physical strength with technical quality and great ability in the air, valuable characteristics that have brought him to the top level in Europe.

Udinese's loan deal however does not include an option to make Mari's move to Serie A permanent.


Mari initially joined Arsenal on loan from      Brazilian side Flamengo in January 2020 before the move was made permanent six months later, but he has made only 22 appearances in two years in north London.

And now Arsenal are trying to free up space and reduce the wages they pay in order for them to be able to bring in more players in the midfield and striking department because some of their players are away to Afcon while some are running down their contract.

The former Mallorca centre-back has not played for the Gunners in any competition since the 3-0 Carabao Cup third-round victory against AFC Wimbledon in September.

His only other appearances this season came in the back-to-back Premier League defeats by Brentford and Chelsea in the first two games of the campaign.

The 28-year-old is the third first-team player to leave the club on loan this month, with academy products Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Folarin Balogun joining Roma and Middlesbrough respectively.

Left-back Sead Kolasinac is the other player to have departed, joining Marseille on a free transfer after mutually terminating his contract at Emirates Stadium.

Pablo Mari has played just three games for Arsenal in all competitions this term, the Spanish defender has moved to Udinese in search of more game-time but the Serie A outfit do not have an option in loan deal for permanent move. Mari joined Arsenal from Brazilian side Flamengo in 2020 after initial loan spell

Reported Arsenal injury news, Thomas Partey, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Reiss Nelson all captured in the update Arsena l midfielder Thomas Partey picked up an injury to his right thigh in training on Friday and did not feature in the 2-1 win over Fulham at the weekend. The club have described the problem as tightness in the muscle, rather than a pull or a tear, which indicates the Ghanaian international won’t be out of contention for too long. Oleksandr Zinchenko also missed the game on Saturday and it’s unlikely that he’ll be spending much time on the treatment table either. The Ukrainian international has a minor sprain in his left knee and he was left out for the Fulham match as a precaution. It would suggest that the defender will be available to face Aston Villa on Wednesday evening, while Partey may need a bit longer to recover. Fans will, though, be hoping he is back for the trip to play Manchester United next weekend. Reiss Nelson has not featured this campaign due to a muscular

Official: Runar Alex Runarsson signs for Arsenal

Arsenal have completed a deal to sign Runar Alex Runarsson from Dijon today, as confirmed by their official website. Runarsson joined Dijon from FC Nordsjaelland, and although he started as first choice, underwhelming performances saw him lose his place to Alfred Gomis. He played 45 games for the Ligue 1 side. His signing has been championed by goalkeeping coach Inaki Cana Pavon who worked with him in Denmark, and that relationship played a key part in Arsenal’s decision to bring him in. The goalkeeper will come in as replacement for Emiliano Martinez, who quit the club to join Aston Villa last week. Welcome to The Arsenal, Alex Runarsson 🔴 👋 @runaralex — Arsenal (@Arsenal) September 21, 2020 Football.London claims the goalkeeper has cost just £1 Million, which could well give us a much-needed boost to our finances as we look to strengthen our midfield, with strong links with both Houssem Aouar and Thomas Partey. Runarsson will wear the number 13 shirt this seas
