Unai Emery is set to bolster his squad in the summer transfer window and there are players in Arsenal squad who are set to leave instead. One of those players was thought to be Nacho Monreal.
According to reports Fenerbahce have been targeting the Spanish left-back. However, Arsenal activated a one-year extension clause in Monreal’s contract trying to put the end to the transfer speculations.
The Gunners are planning to bolster their options at left-back and are confident of landing Kieran Tierney but Monreal has made it clear that it will not force him to depart.
"That's all rumours," he said. "I belong at Arsenal. I still have a contract.
"My idea is to stay here.
"It's a great club and I feel really comfortable playing for Arsenal. My idea is to continue playing here."
"My position has always been left-back, this is the position I enjoy most," Monreal said.
"Football is changing, obviously sometimes our centre-backs have got injured in the last few years and the manager has decided I have to play in that position.
"That's what I did but my position, and where I enjoy playing, is left-back."
