Arsenal are set to once again finish the season in a frustrating manner after failing to win any trophies. It has been eight seasons since the club lifted a major trophy, which has been a source of frustration to the players, fans, and the manager. In order to bring an end to the trophy drought, the club has been bringing in several experienced players over the last few transfer windows. They have also been bringing in promising young potential into the club as well. The Spanish defender, Nacho Monreal, was one of the major signings made by the club during January.
The defender arrived at the club for around £ 8.5 million and he has made enough impression during this period to suggest that he may become a first team regular for Arsenal in the future. After the exit in the Champions league, the club are left with only the top four positions to fight for in the remaining few months of the season. Nacho Monreal has said that the players at the club should not be focusing too much on the criticism they have been receiving in recent months. Instead, they should be focusing on finishing in the top four ahead of Tottenham and Chelsea.
“We still have matches left to fix the situation and to try to meet our objectives. It is logical that people talk because the situation has not been as it should be, but the players and club in general have to ensure that doesn’t affect us. We have to use our energy for the matches. If you are thinking of what people are saying, you are wasting that energy. You have to concentrate on the next match,” said the defender in an interview given to the official site of Arsenal. The 27-year-old has made five appearances for the team this season.
