Monchi finally reacts to reported Arsenal move

An emerging report claims that Monchi has reacted to the reported linking him to the North London outfit Arsenal by accepting to join the club as the technical director.

The need for Monchi came up after Sven Mislintat announced his decision to leave the job as head of recruitment at the Emirates Stadium in January with claims that he is at loggerheads with some of the club’s chiefs over transfer decisions.

Monchi who is currently with Italian Serie A outfit AS Roma is believed to be one of the best in that position in the game owing to his record for discovering one of the best defenders in the world, Sergio Ramos, Jesus Navas and Jose Antonio Reyes.
