Arsenal are still pushing to make more new signings with just a few weeks of the summer transfer window remaining. David Raya, Tommy Setford and Riccardo Calafiori have already arrived at Emirates Stadium with Mikel Arteta and Edu keen to sign a new midfielder and potentially a striker.
Real Sociedad’s Mikel Merino remains the priority target with talks ongoing after he was left out of the Spanish club’s squad for the pre-season friendly against Union Berlin. Martin Zubimendi is another player of Sociedad potentially on his way to the Premier League with Liverpool exploring a move, though he was named in the squad to face the German club.
The Gunners are clearly keen on signing Merino swiftly with a rough transfer timeline for his hopeful arrival being made clear. On the striker front, both Viktor Gyokeres and current club Sporting CP have sent a clear message to Arsenal in their opening day Portuguese league victory over Rio Ave.
