Mikel Arteta has personally phoned ‘world class’ player to try and get him to sign for Arsenal
Arsenal are hoping to land the signature of a ‘world class’ player this summer transfer window, according to a recent report.
The Gunners will be eager ജto go one better next term and finally pip Manchester City to the Premier League title after finishing tw🎉o points short last term.
Sporting director Edu will be hard at work identifying a number of targets to strengthen Arteta’s ranks and with that said, it seems one La Liga star could be nearing a move t𓆏o North London.

Mikel Arteta personally phoned Mikel Merino
According to a report from , Mikel Arteta has personally phoned Real Sociedad midfielder Mikel Merino, who has been labelled as by teammate Kieran 🍃Tierney.
The Arsenal boss is desperate to sign the Spain international this summer and has already been in direct contact with Merino to discuss the big p🥀lans he has for him at the Emirates Stadium.
It’s thought that Merino is keen on a return to the Premier League having had a year ജon loan at Newcastle United during the 2017/18 campaign.
The 28-year-o🤡ld has complete confid🍷ence in Arteta and could turn down interest from Barcelona to make the switch to North London.
Mikel Merino could be available for £21m
Merino﷽ isn’t expected to renew his deal at Real Sociedad and is therefore set to leave for a discounted price this summer, with his contract due to expire next year.
The LaLiga outfit are demanding £21m for his signature, which is certainly feasib🌄ꦕle for The Gunners as they look to bolster their midfield ranks.
Merino, who can operate as a number six or ܫas an eight, could replace Thomas Part🐟ey who has been heavily mooted with a departure.
Perhaps Declan Rice will be moved back into the defensive role, with Me🍸rino given licenꦐce to push on into attacking areas.
