“Deal being sealed” – Fabrizio Romano issues update on latest Arsenal move

Arsenal are set to complete the signing of midfielder Mikel Merino from Real Sociedad.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the Spanish midfielder has completed his Arsenal medical and he is set to become the club’s third signing of the summer transfer window.

David Raya and Riccardo Calafiori have been the other two signings made by Mikel Arteta this summer to strengthen his squad.

Arsenal have chased a midfielder all summer and Merino was their primary target.

The Spaniard has impressed for Real Sociedad and Spain, with the midfielder helping the latter win the Euro 2024 this summer.

He played a crucial role in Spain’s triumph at the Euros, particularly in the match against Germany when he scored a late winner.

As per Romano, the player will sign a four-year deal with the Gunners with an option of another year.

Declan Rice is a box to box midfielder who makes contribution on both ends of the pitch.

Merino will be required to help Rice in protecting the back four and winning possession to build attacks.

The Gunners are off to a fine start this season after winning both their Premier League matches.

The 2-0 win against Wolves in the opening match of the season was followed by a 2-0 win against Aston Villa.
