Mikel Merino
29-Year-Old
Arsenal
Premier
Starts in cup
Merino got the start as a central striker during Wednesday's 2-0 win over Port Vale in the Carabao Cup.
ANALYSIS
Merino has been utilized as a depth option at striker and in central midfield. He's been decent in both roles, and with Gabriel Jesus (knee) and Kai Havertz (knee) both on the sideline he's the second choice striker once more. Merino will remain a bench option for the most part, but he should get chances in various competitions and off the bench.

ANALYSIS
Real Sociedad are refusing to lower their valuation for the 28-year-old Spain midfielder and Arsenal target. The Gunners are willing to do everything in their power to sign Merino, but it seems the deal won't get over the finish line unless one of the two clubs soften their stance a bit.
