Former Spain and Barcelona midfielder Gaizka Mendieta with a spicy transfer prediction.
"Mikel Merino will not enjoy being a bench player at Arsenal," Mendieta told BetVictor. "It works in the national team because of his specific role and recent goals, which makes things easier for everyone.
"However, he is an ambitious player who wants to be in the starting lineup. If he isn't, he may look elsewhere.
"The national team is different, with roles for players like Oyarzabal or Borja Iglesias. In a club setting, you don't want to be the 12th man who only comes on when goals are needed. You want to play regularly."
