As Mikel Arteta looks to advance one step further in the Premier League, Arsenal are on the verge of signing another player.
This summers, Arsenal have signed just two people. It looks, but, as if another is just around the edge, following a big deal.
The Gunners opened the scoring with Riccardo Calafiori, who would later replace David Raya on a temporary basis from Brentford. Expenditure have been prioritised, also, with Emile Smith Rowe leaving and Eddie Nketiah said to be near to following his brother Hale End student out of the door.
It appers as if Arsenal are n't done in the transfer window just yet, though. With the final two preseason games against Bayer Leverkusen and Olympique Lyonnais looming, director Mikel Arteta is said to wish to add another midfielder and forward.
Spanish store El Diario Vasco has provided an upgrade on Mikel Merino's move to the Emirates Stadium, claiming that the Euro 2024 success has been waiting since May for the move. Conditions are agreed with the midfielder over his move.
Basque store Noticias de Gipuzkoa this month described Merino's transfer to N5 as" a specific thing", but there has been a hold-up. The Gunners are yet to make an offer to his employers, True Sociedad, though it is claimed that this will occur this week.
Arsenal are said to be delaying somewhat, given that the game is "in their judge", as per El Diario Vasco. Arsenal may expect to pay as little as £25 million, also, for the player – with the statement affirming the likelihood of the move going through in the" getting time".
In DataVictory's mind, this one is as good as done, with that likely to be much concern over the price. Merino has been convinced by Arsenal's job, rejecting Barcelona for a profit to the Premier League– where he spent a year with Newcastle United – underlining very how amazing Arteta's pull then is, having convinced Calafiori to move to England and accept the advances of Juventus.
Merino is the best page for Arsenal's left-sided No. 8 position. As a left-footed duel-winning system, he can clash Gabriel Martinelli out broad and become relied on in the media, making him a discount given his experience.
Transfermarkt presently values the 28-year-old at €50 million. His lease expires following summer.
