Spanish arrival ‘will be quality signing for Arsenal – Ex-Gunner admits!

Arsenal have been told that signing Mikel Merino would close the gap on champions Manchester City.

The Gunners have been linked with so many players over the past few months as many fans expected the Gunners to bring in a few quality players to add to the squad, but so far only David Raya has been signed by the club.

But it is widely expected that ARSENAL will look to add to that attack this transfer window – and Merino is a player that has been linked with a move to the Emirates over the past few weeks after his impressive performances in the Euros 2024 for Spain.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is said to be a big fan of him and is prepared to sanction a deal that would see the 28-year-old earn the most lucrative contract of his career, potentially double what is currently on.

Ex-Gunners and Manchester United defender Mikael Silvestre reckons Merino would be a quality addition – Silvestre told bettingexpert.com: “Mikel Merino is another profile that would suit Arsenal and the style of play.

“There’s room in the midfield but the places are tough to get with Ødegaard, Rice, Jorginho, Havertz and Partey so it’s not easy but they need competition to close the gap (with City).”

Look, ARSENAL know what players they need to help drive the club forward over the next few seasons – and if they truly believe that Merino is good enough to make an impact at the club – they will.

Mikel Arteta has not been making the signings that many fans had been hoping for – but the next few weeks could see alot of players coming and going for the club – Merino would be a very good squad member.
