Arsenal are on the verge of completing their second new signing of the summer after Fabrizio Romano gave the lowdown on a deal the Gunners can expect to cross the line within the next couple of days.
So far, Arsenal’s only new signing for their first team this summer has been Riccardo Calafiori, the Italy international defender who arrived from Bologna. Their only other incoming business has been converting David Raya’s loan into a permanent transfer from Brentford, as well as arranging a couple of deals to reinforce their academy ranks.
But the next addition to Mikel Arteta’s squad could well be on the way, with Romano revealing Arsenal are now close to agreeing all the details of their raid on Real Sociedad for Spain midfielder Mikel Merino.
