Arsenal defender Nacho Monreal has signed a new long-term contract at Arsenal, the club have confirmed in a statement on their official website.
The statement doesn't specify the length of the contract, but reports in recent days suggest that the deal will keep the 29-year-old left-back at the Emirates for at least the next three years.
Speaking to the club's website after the announcement was made, Monreal said: “I’m really happy because my intention was to keep playing for Arsenal. I feel really good playing here.“I have a good relationship with my team-mates and we keep improving year after year. I wanted to stay here and I could extend my contract. I would like to play here for many more years. The trust of the Arsenal fans is really important for us because they are helping us in every moment as we are fighting to win the Premier League.
“I met the boss three years ago and I have a really good relationship with him and I’m really happy with him. For these reasons I extended my contract.”
The Spaniard has been ever-present in the club's 22 Premier League games this season, seemingly immune thus far to the injury curse sweeping the squad, and he has spoken about how happy he is to have nailed down his place in the team this season.
He said: "I’m very happy with my performances this season. At the beginning it was difficult because I was a new signing and I didn’t speak English. But now I feel more comfortable with my team-mates and with everything in general so that has helped me to play better because I have more confidence in myself.”
