Premier League: Two horses in race for title as Arsenal, Man City both win
Arsenal survived a late comeback from Tottenham to win 3-2 away to its neighbour after it had stormed into a 3-0 first-half lead.
Spanish football club Real Sociedad has confirmed on Saturday that it has signed 33-year-old former defender of the Spanish national team Nacho Monreal from Premier League team Arsenal.
The defender has reportedly agreed on a two-year contract with Real Sociedad. The deal implies that Monreal is all set to make a return to La Liga after spending six years in England.
“Real Sociedad and Arsenal FC have reached an agreement for the transfer of Nacho Monreal to the ‘Blue and Whites’. Real Sociedad have reached an agreement with the player until June 30, 2021 and the official presentation will be on Monday,” said a statement on the Real Sociedad website.
