Arsenal defender Pablo Mari is eager to extend his stay with loan club Udinese.

The Gunners signed the 28-year-old defender for £14million from Flamengo in 2020 after a successful loan period at the club.

But he failed to impress over the ensuing years at The Emirates and was subsequently shipped out on loan to Udinese in January.

Speaking about his future to Gazzetta, Mari said: "I'd like to stay in Serie A next season.

"I'm under contract until June 2024 with Arsenal - but I'm so happy here at Udinese."
