Arsenal midfielder Fran Merida is close to extend his stay with the North London club. After the player revealed he is committed to Arsenal, his agent also provided good news for Arsenal supporters, saying how the priority of the player is to negotiate with the Gunners.

Merida’s agent, Joseba Diaz, said:

I do not know what Atletico are waiting for in bidding for a player who has half of Europe after him. It’s true that as a child he was sick about Atletico but everything has changed a bit. Now his heart and head are with Arsenal.

There are much falsehoods in the world of football because the players do not decide what team they play for.

The priority now is to negotiate with Arsenal and in the future we’ll see. The desire is to keep him at Arsenal and succeed.
