Arsenal have been handed two major transfer updates, which could see Mikel Arteta and Edu sanction two deals this week. The Gunners have already welcomed Tommy Setford, David Raya and Riccardo Calafiori on permanent deals, with hope remaining that Mikel Merino can join that trio.
Talks over signing the Real Sociedad midfielder have taken place over the last few weeks, though Arsenal are yet to formally launch an offer. With his contract up in 2025, reaching an agreement in the region of £25million is the aim, and the chances of that happening have been given a huge boost thanks to a huge Sociedad decision.
