Arsenal are plotting a move for Spain’s Euro 2024 winner and Real Sociedad midfielder, Mikel Merino.
Merino’s reputation has obviously been enhanced by his impressive performance in Germany, but Arsenal were already looking at the 28-year-old before that.
According to The Telegraph, Merino could represent good value given he’s in the final year of his contract, though the Gunners will face competition for his signature.
The report cites Spanish media claims that Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are interested, with Real Sociedad wanting around £20m for the transfer.
El Desmarque recently reported that everything suggested Merino will turn down a new deal with his current club, effectively forcing them to sell.
