Arsenal's Pablo Mari is close to agreeing a loan switch to Udinese, joining Filip Benkovic, who recently left Leicester City.
The Spaniard started in the Gunners' first two Premier League games this season – two 2-0 defeats by Brentford and Chelsea – before last featuring in a 3-0 Carabao Cup win over Wimbledon back in September.
Unfortunately for Mari, that was his last appearance for the club and he has since fallen out of favour and down the pecking order behind Ben White and Gabriel Magalhaes.

However, with Arsenal not participating in any European competitions this season, cup appearances have been hard to come by and illness ruled him out for the Carabao Cup fourth-round win over Leeds before he was sidelined for their quarter-final victory over Sunderland due to testing positive Covid.
