Roma’s sporting director, Ramón Rodríguez Verdejo, porpularly known as Monchi, says it is a ‘pleasure’ to be linked with Arsenal, following reports suggesting that he will replace Sven Mislintat.
Earlier this week, Arsenal confirmed that Mislintat has decided to leave the club after just 14 months as their head of recruitment.
The Gunners are now looking to restructure in response to Mislintat’s departure and are assessing potential candidates to become their new technical director.
The Spanish international worked closely with Unai Emery at Sevilla, and reportedly at the top of Arsenal’s shortlist and the Spaniard admits he is flattered to be linked with the club.
“I know my name is being associated with Arsenal but I am concentrating on my job with Roma,” Monchi told The Sun.
“However it is a pleasure being linked with a club like Arsenal, but it is not first time that happens.”
