Merino, 28, is a Spanish midfielder born on the same day and month as Manchester City’s Rodri, and the two are now together in the Premier League, fighting for their teams’ title ambitions. At the recent European Championships, Merino came off the bench in the last eight against Germany and scored the winning goal in the final minute of extra time to help Spain reach the semifinals and eventually win the championship. This experience has made Arsenal fans look forward to him as an important piece of the puzzle for the title.
A few hours later, Liverpool also announced the signing of Georgian goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, who will remain on loan at Valencia for another year before arriving at Anfield next summer. The move is clearly an early preparation for the possible departure of Alisson.
