Pablo Mari insists he does not see his future at Arsenal and would like to stay in Italy beyond the end of the season.
The 28-year-old centre-back joined Udinese on loan in the January transfer window following a lack of game time in north London and has gone on to make eight Serie A appearances for them.
The Spaniard's loan deal is not thought to include an option to buy but his desire is not to return to the Premier League, insisting he has found the 'right league' for him and is aiming to take Udinese up the table.
