Newcastle's inability to secure European football, coupled with reports suggesting Arsenal are in the market for a new central midfielder, has seen Tonali re-emerge as a potential summer target.Despite Arteta already boasting a formidable midfield comprising Declan Rice, Martin Zubimendi and Myles Lewis-Skelly, Monreal backs the acquisition of Tonali, insisting his arrival would give the Gunners an unrivalled midfield unit."If Arsenal sign Tonali, obviously they will have the best midfield in the world," said Monreal, who pulled on the Arsenal shirt 251 times between 2013 and 2019. In my opinion, they already have the two best defensive midfielders in the world."Trent Alexander-Arnold has had a difficult time at Real Madrid so far (Image: Getty)Teddy Sheringham has put forward Trent Alexander-Arnold as a potential Arsenal recruit.

But they could make it work for him."Even if you have an organised back four with fantastic players, if you leave him on his own Trent looks all over the place, but that was true of Harry Maguire when Manchester United weren't playing well.
