The former MK Dons defender then followed Mauricio Pochettino to Tottenham in 2014 and engineered the signing of players such as Dele Alli, Kieran Trippier and Toby Alderweireld.He now plies his trade at Bundesliga club RB Leipzig, helping to produce their young talent and recruit players, but it is understood the Gunners have terminated their interest.Arsenal were left disappointed when Monchi, who left a similar role at Roma two weeks ago, rejected their three-year offer in favour of a second spell at Sevilla. I thank Arsenal for their interest, Monchi said.It has been the club that has shown the most interest in me but, in the end, I evaluated all of the offers I had on the table and I chose the one that convinced me most.I had other options, and very important ones that were flashier, but Ive chosen Seville because its sporting project convinced me.
