Mikel Merino, who has been a target for Arsenal since the start of the transfer window, was particularly motivated by the opportunity to work with Mikel Arteta. The Spanish coach played a crucial role in the negotiations and was also instrumental in securing the signing of Italian defender Riccardo Calafiori, another standout from the recent Euro.

This will be Merino’s second stint in English football. In the 2017-18 season, he played for Newcastle, making 25 appearances, scoring one goal, and providing one assist. Originally developed by Osasuna, Merino made a name for himself at Real Sociedad, where he solidified his career and caught the attention of major European clubs.

In the last season, Merino reached the peak of his career with eight goals and five assists, in addition to solid performances at the Euro. He was decisive by scoring the goal that secured Spain’s victory over Germany in the quarter-finals, helping La Roja to win the title in Berlin.

With the arrival of Mikel Merino, Arsenal further strengthens its squad for the season, aiming to win titles both domestically and in Europe. The player is expected to be a key figure in Mikel Arteta’s setup, as he looks to establish the Gunners among the top clubs in Europe. BB Score is now available.
