Done Deal: Arsenal sign Most Dangerous striker in football history on a Five-Years transfer deal as player given a legendary shirt number- The fans are surprised

According to reports, Arsenal is “accelerating negotiations” in an attempt to recruit Baris Alper Yilmaz before rival Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.

The Gunners are busy in the transfer market, having spent a lot of money to get Italy international Riccardo Calafiori from Bologna and to permanently sign David Raya from Brentford.

Mikel Arteta’s team is anticipated to finalise a few additional acquisitions before to the summer transfer window shutting later this month.

In order to replace Bukayo Saka on the right flank, Arsenal is trying to bolster their winger corps, and Yilmaz has shown himself to be a viable candidate.

Throughout his 55 appearances in all competitions last season, the 24-year-old was a standout for Galatasaray, recording seven goals and twelve assists.

The winger, whose contract runs through 2027, also contributed favourably at Euro 2024, where he participated for the whole 90 minutes in each of Turkey’s five games as they advanced to the competition’s quarterfinals.

But it looks like Arsenal is winning the race to sign Yilmaz, as a Turkish report indicates they are “accelerating negotiations” in an attempt to close a deal. They say Brighton and Tottenham are also considering the gifted attacker.

The report further states that the transfer might happen at any time because talks with Premier League powerhouse Arsenal have reportedly increased recently. There have been rumours that the transfer agreement’s last aspects are up for discussion.

“Barış Alper Yılmaz is expected to transfer to Arsenal; reportedly, Arsenal will pay 20 million euros for this.”

Regarding Merino, he is reportedly “waiting” for Arsenal, who have not yet made a decision regarding his possible transfer to the Emirates, according to reports in Spain.

The Spanish report clarifies.

The football player from Navarrese is reportedly hoping Arsenal would make a move for him, despite Real Madrid’s reported asking price of over 30 million euros. Merino is considering a possible move to Arsenal because Real Madrid has Luka Sucic as a replacement. However, he is also considering his other choices, which include sticking at Anoeta for another year or seeing what Barcelona would have to offer in the event that his negotiations with Arsenal fall through.

Mikel Arteta, the coach of Arsenal, has seen Merino. It appears likely that they will eventually reach a consensus. Since contracts in England don’t often overlap, Merino may now get more attention given that a new centre back has already been signed.

“Merino is watching Barcelona as well.” Oriol Romeu’s departure and the collapse of the Nico Williams agreement could present an opportunity for him to sign with the Blaugrana. It’s evident that Deco and Hansi Flick are both huge admirers of his.
