Transfer news: Arsenal in move for Spanish full-back Nacho Monreal

Arsene Wenger feels he needs additional depth on the left, and he has now targeted the highly-rated 26-year-old.

Monreal has nine caps for Spain, and joined Malaga on a five-year deal from Osasuna in 2011.

Now he looks set link-up again with former team-mate and compatriot Santi Cazorla - who made the same move in the summer.

Arsenal are now pushing to tie up the deal, that Wenger had hoped to do before the end of the deadline.
