Arsenal are reportedly closing in on a move for Spanish midfielder Mikel Merino, with the Gunners looking to secure the Real Sociedad star as they strengthen their squad ahead of the new season.

Mikel Merino has been a standout performer for Real Sociedad in La Liga and recently shone at Euro 2024, where his performances caught the eye of several top European clubs.

Arsenal, keen to bolster their midfield options, have intensified their efforts to sign the 28-year-old, particularly in light of Liverpool’s strong interest in Merino’s teammate Martin Zubimendi.
