Arsenal face £8m Mikel Merino transfer dilemma as Mikel Arteta ‘open’ to next exit

Arsenal will go into Saturday’s Premier League clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers with three new signings. Riccardo Calafiori, David Raya and Tommy Setford have all arrived on permanent deals, but there remains plenty of work for Mikel Arteta to do.

Interest has turned to Mikel Merino in the last month, but failure to reach an agreement with Real Sociedad has stalled a move. The Spain international is thought to be the perfect midfield addition for the Gunners to supplement Declan Rice.

For players to come in, players must leave. Emile Smith Rowe has joined Fulham, and Eddie Nketiah’s imminent move to Marseille is close to being completed. However, interest in some of Arsenal’s wantaway players is not, perhaps, as hot as Edu Gaspar would like.
