Arsenal legend Wright doesn't rate Monreal: He frightens me

Arsenal legend Ian Wright is unhappy seeing Nacho Monreal at centre-half.

The 28-year-old has been forced to deputise at centre-back in recent weeks and looked uneasy in the defeat to Swansea on Sunday.

Wright told BBC Radio 5 live: "He (Monreal) gives me the jitters. It doesn't happen for me when he's playing, I'm really frightened. Even at left-back.

"Chambers started the season pretty well, but I see him as a centre-half, I'd rather have a player who is comfortable there."
