Arsenal determined to sign Mikel Merino

Arsenal remain keen on signing Mikel Merino this summer.

According to a report from Mundo Deportivo (h/t SportWitness), Arsenal are yet to submit a formal offer for the Spanish international midfielder but they are ready to push hard for his signature.

The north London club are yet to open talks with Real Sociedad over the Euro 2024 winner and it remains to be seen whether they come forward with an official proposal in the coming weeks.

Atletico Madrid are keen on signing the player as well and they have already submitted an offer to Real Sociedad. However, the 28-year-old midfielder has turned them down. It will be interesting to see if he is keen on a return to the Premier League with Arsenal this summer.

He has played in English football before with Newcastle United. Merino has the physical and technical attributes to thrive in the Premier League and he could be a key player for Arsenal if he joins them.

Jorginho is at the twilight stage of his career and Thomas Partey has had his fair share of injury problems. Arsenal need to bring in a deep-lying midfielder who can partner Declan Rice and control the tempo of the game from the deep.
