Arsenal have signed Pablo Mari on loan from Flamengo for the remainder of the 2019-20 campaign.
The deal was confirmed via the club's official Twitter account on Wednesday. Arsenal will reportedly pay a $5 million (£4 million) loan fee, with a $10 million (£8 million) option to buy in the summer, according to Sky Sports.
David Ornstein of The Athletic first noted the option to buy. The club are also said to be considering another possible loan signing before the January transfer window closes.
“Pablo is an experienced player who will provide us with additional defensive quality," Arsenal technical director Edu said in the club release.
