Arsenal are on the verge of signing another player this summer after long sought after defender Kostas Monalas was reported to have undergone Arsenal medical. The transfer is set to be completed in few days with the transfer fee believed in the region of €10 million.
Kostas Monalas, a 23 years old Greece international, plays for Greek outfit Olympiakos and has been considered a defensive prospect for few years now. His impressive performance at the club and for Greece in World Cup has not gone unnoticed as several of top European clubs including Juventus and Bayern Munich are also thought to be interested on player’s signature.

Arsenal have already signed Chambers, primarily a right back, from Southampton who can feature at the heart of defense as well.
