Udinese have confirmed the signing of Pablo Mari
Udinese have confirmed the signing of Pablo Mari until the end of the season.
The 28-year-old defender joins from Arsenal on a short term loan deal after falling out of favour at the Emirates.
Mari has made just three appearances for the Gunners in all competitions this campaign, with his last being the Carabao Cup win over AFC Wimbledon in September.
But despite being frozen out by Mikel Arteta, the loan deal does not include the option to make the move permanent.
Speaking to Udinese's official Twitter account, Mari said: "I'm so happy to be here, it's a pleasure.
"I want to say hello to all the Udinese fans, I'm here to give everything for that shirt and the club.
"And I hope that we're going to get a lot of wins here and at away games, so we need you."
And writing on social media himself, Mari said: "Happy and proud! I can't wait to start this new adventure and give my all for the black and white shirt and for its fans! FORZA UDINESE!"
