The Spaniard had a rocky start to life at Arsenal, but after plenty of trust and plenty of perseverance, the Gunners are now seeing the genius of Arteta’s mind.
Arteta isn’t just a great coach, he’s a great ambassador for Arsenal, and now, we’re at the point where players want to sign for Arsenal because they want to work with Arteta.
According to Fabrizio Romano, speaking on his YouTube channel, Mikel Merino is very tempted by the idea of playing for Arsenal because he believes Mikel Arteta is the perfect coach to take his career forward.
Mikel Merino excited by the idea of working with Mikel Arteta
Romano shared what he knows about the £25m player.
“I told you for days and weeks that Mikel Merino is in the list at Arsenal, and he’s very high on the list,” Merino said.
“At the moment, no direct contact with Real Sociedad, but there have been positive contacts on the player’s side. The player is tempted by the Premier League, tempted by Arsenal and very tempted by Mikel Arteta, he is considered the perfect coach for him also by people close to the player.”
Mikel Arteta is perfect for Mikel Merino
Merino believes that Arteta is the perfect coach for him, and he may not be too far wrong.
Indeed, there are so many parallels between Merino and Arteta as people and as players.
Both men are from Spain’s Basque country, while they both have ties to Real Sociedad.
Factor in that they’re both also midfield players by trade, and you have a manager who could be the perfect mentor for Merino as he looks to have another crack at the Premier League.
There’s plenty of reason to believe that Arteta is the man to get the best out of Merino.
