Mikel Merino to Arsenal? Gunners Nearing Deal with Real Sociedad
The north London side are expected to complete the signing of Mikel Merino from Real Sociedad in the midfield area. By the reports of several dailies, the Gooners manager is in the process of signing the gifted midfielder from the Spanish side at the emirate stadium.
Mikel Merino is one of the La Liga’s most consistent players of the present time, and he is the youth product of the Real Sociedad Club. He has the ability to pass the ball out from the back, great vision, and makes a lot of interventions in defence, which is perfect for Arteta’s ball dominant football.
Details on how much will be involved in the transfer are yet to be revealed to the public but Real Sociedad are believed to be demanding a huge sum of money from their star player. Arsenal are desperate to sign Merino and are likely to pay the amount demanded by the Spanish club.
This is a player Arsenal needs in the midfield given that Merino can easily fit into Wenger’s system of play. Ever since Granit Xhaka’s stock has become unclear and Thomas Partey has been frequently on the side lines the Arsenal has been in the market in search of a midfielder. Merino’s coming will boost their team because they have a lot of games to play as they defend their Premier League crown and feature in the Champions League.
Before the end of the transfer window, Arsenal fans will expect the club to announce Merino as one of their new players. The arrival of the Spaniard, of course, would provide a massive lift to the club’s prospects for the coming season.
