Martin Montoya
FC Barcelona right back Martin Montoya has also resisted signing a new contract at Camp Nou, and given the continued fine form of Daniel Alves ahead of him in the right back pecking order, regular first team football seems a way off yet.
Montoya has made 14 appearances in La Liga and the UEFA Champions League, making three assists, and his schooling in the tiki taka style passing game thanks to his La Masia upbringing would serve him well at Arsenal.
Montoya has made 2.9 tackles per match in La Liga, and in his two UEFA Champions League games against Ajax and Celtic he managed an astonishing 5 per match – suggesting he could certainly handle himself in the physical Premier League.
The 22 year-old Montoya could be one of the most highly sought after free transfers this summer if he does not agree a new Barca deal, and Arsenal would be understandably keen to swoop.
