"Arsenal" may soon acquire not one but two players.

Riccardo Calafiori's transfer to "Arsenal" is expected to be confirmed soon, and the other player could be Mikel Merino.

Journalist Matteo Moretto from "Relevo" reports that the "Gunners" have taken the lead in the race for M. Merino's signature. They are currently ahead of Madrid's "Atletico" club.

"Atletico" is delaying as they are also considering the possibility of acquiring Conor Gallagher.

Last season, the 28-year-old midfielder scored 7 goals and provided 4 assists while wearing the "Real Sociedad" jersey. He scored a crucial goal in the winning European Championship with Spain.
