The versatile defender, who can play in the centre of left side of defence, will join the club in July on a five-year deal from the Spanish capital.
It hasn't take long for that announcement to spark Arsenal fans into wondering what that means for the future of Austrian defender David Alaba.
The 26-year-old still has a contract until 2021 but recently spoke to Bild about his future and a potential exit from the Allianz Arena.
The Champions League winner admitted that he could be tempted by a move to England and even suggested that he had been an Arsenal fan since his youth.

That mixed with the fact one of Arsenal's transfer priorities remains a left full-back to help replace Nacho Monreal means the timing could be perfect.
