Arsenal are set to make their third major signing of the summer transfer window ahead of the 2024-25 Premier League season.
The Gunners only recently completed the signing of Riccardo Calafiori and activated the buy option in David Raya’s loan deal, but Mikel Arteta is yet to close the cheque book ahead of a crucial season at the Emirates.
The North London outfit are reported to be closing in on the signing of Mikel Merino.
The midfielder who won Euro 2024 with Spain has accepted personal terms for a move to England’s capital.
Arsenal are also said to have started negotiations with Real Soceidad after the verbal package of around €30million was given the green light.
Both clubs are now discussing the final details of the deal and the Spanish outfit are set to recruit Carlos Soler from Paris Saint-Germain as Merino’s replacement.
