Though the transfer of Mikel Merino has been agreed, Arsenal appear far from done in the summer transfer window. Negotiations with Real Sociedad for the Spanish midfielder have taken up the last few weeks, however Edu has finally been able to reach an agreement in the region of £30million.
Departures now appear the priority for the Gunners with Eddie Nketiah edging closer to joining Nottingham Forest. Aaron Ramsdale and Reiss Nelson have also been linked to exits, though it is Fabio Vieira that will be the next player to depart.
Porto have agreed to re-sign him on loan ahead of Merino’s imminent arrival with Arteta also keen to utilise Ethan Nwaneri. In the final days of the window, Arsenal are keen to add a versatile forward to their ranks with another goalkeeper expected to join if Ramsdale departs.
With Vieira sometimes covering for Bukayo Saka, it is clear Arsenal need another option out wide and has taken a look at six potential signings.
