What will new Arsenal signing Mikel Merino bring to Mikel Areta's side next season?

Arsenal is close to signing Spanish midfielder Mikel Merino, a steady and experienced player who can provide much-needed depth in midfield. The signing addresses Arsenal's lack of options in midfield and their overreliance on Thomas Partey. Merino's ability to play one-two touch and move the ball quickly will benefit Arsenal's style of play. The signing also highlights Arsenal's focus on height and aerial ability, as Merino is a physically dominant player. Arsenal aims to bridge the gap to Manchester City and strengthen their attacking line for the upcoming season.

Great chat guys

Merino is a peak age performing player joining a similar group of Trossard, Jesus, White, Gabriel and Raya
Arsenal may believe getting in a few more players who are a sure thing will only be a good thing not to mention Jorginho and Partey still being at the club

Signing a 10 or wide man and striker would Ideally be the next thing as Havertz for all his quality at CF is more an attacking midfielder
Eze/Neto and Osimhen/Gyokeres would be good options
