Arsenal thinks Mikel Merino can strengthen their team overall

Arsenal is ready to welcome their new signing very soon, as the deal between both clubs has been completed, and now it is just a matter of time before they announce the signing of their new player.

Mikel Arteta wants to build a new and more strong and improved squad than last year in order to win the Premier League this season. He wants to build a squad that becomes difficult to beat even by teams like Man City and Liverpool.

Arsenal have just signed one of the players who was in their transfer targets that they made at the start of the season. There were four names on that list, and they have signed one player from that list. The names of the players are Riccardo Calafiori, David Raya, Viktor Gyokeres, and Mikel Merino.

The Gunners want to make their team unbeatable.

The Gunners manager, Mikel Arteta, wanted to sign a left-back and a central midfielder, and the club has provided him with both players in this summer transfer window; one has already arrived at the club and another is on the way.

Arsenal have played the best football in the last two seasons, finishing second in the Premier League after Manchester City. In both seasons they have lost the league to Manchester City, and with a margin of a gap, the Gunners being unable to beat the City can be because of several reasons. On the other side, the Manchester City team only knows winning; they have won the league four times in a row, which is mind-blowing. For Gunners, beating Manchester City to win the league is the only challenge they are focusing on, and to that end, they are improving those places that were weak, like the left back position and midfield position.

In the 2022–23 season, Arsenal lost the league to City by just five points, losing in one, and it cost them the league title. After that season, they strengthened their team in every area they thought it needed; they signed David Raya for the goalkeeper position from Brentford on loan; they also signed defender Jurrien Timber from Ajax to improve the defense; they also signed two midfielders, Declan Rice as a defensive midfielder from West Ham and Kai Havertz as an attacking midfielder from Chelsea.

Arsenal to sign a new midfielder to improve the midfield area

According to the reports, they almost invested more than £200 million in the squad to improve the team and make it stronger. The Arsenal team was looking very dangerous, and everyone thought that they could win the league and challenge Manchester City for the Premier League title. They lost the title by just two points to City; they won their 16 games of their last 18 games; it was looking that they could win the league, but the defeat against Aston Villa decided the championship, and they lost it by just two points.

The season ended and supporters asked the club to make more signings and improve the places where the club is lacking, which left-back position and the holding midfield position, and the club listened to the fans and made the signings to improve the squad. They signed an Italian defender, Riccardo Calafiori, from Bologna for just £42 million. They bought a left back last season, but the player got injured by just playing the first few games, so to solve this problem, they signed another left back.

The reports have confirmed that Arsenal are getting very close to signing their third player of this summer transfer window and are getting close to making a team that will be hard to beat.

The next player on the Gunners list is the Spanish midfielder Mikel Merino. The midfielder recently won the Euros 2024; he showed his real talent in the Euros, where he played like a world-class midfielder, and it showed why Arteta wants the player at the club.
