Merino, who began his professional career with Osasuna before winning the German Cup with Borussia Dortmund, brings a wealth of experience and a winning mentality to his new club.

A statement from the Arsenal website on Tuesday, titled “Mikel Merino Signs for Arsenal on Long-Term Deal,” confirmed the transfer.

Sporting Director Edu said, “We are thrilled to have completed the transfer of Mikel Merino. This has been another great team effort from many people at the club to finalise the transfer of a player who attracted interest from several clubs over the summer.

“Mikel was a key target for us this summer, and we identified him as a player who can fit perfectly into our squad and enhance our team, as we aim to build on our strong performances from last season. With Mikel’s arrival, we gain additional high-quality experience, physicality, and athleticism as we look forward to the season ahead.

“We welcome Mikel and his family to the club and look forward to seeing him play in an Arsenal shirt.”
