The Gunners are aiming to bolster their midfield this summer and they are already contemplating a move for Real Sociedad's Mikel Merino .

Amidst this, Castles has revealed that the club have initiated contacts with PSG regarding Ruiz, who could leave in the coming days.

The Spaniard has been in-and-out of the line-up for the French champions and he is prepared to move on for regular first-team football.

The Gunners plan to propose a temporary deal for the 28-year-old with an obligation to purchase at the end of the 2024/25 season.

The deal depends on the departure of a midfielder and that could happen soon with Fulham 's record bid to sign Emile Smith Rowe .

Smith Rowe has opened the door for a move away from the Emirates Stadium and he has already spoken with manager Marco Silva .

It is only a matter of time before the club graduate leaves.
