Jamie Carragher praises Mikel Merino's transformation at Arsenal

Jamie Carragher has reversed his earlier criticism of Arsenal's signing of Mikel Merino, now praising the Spanish midfielder as a 'revelation' after his strong performances, particularly when filling in as a striker amid an injury crisis. Merino's recent run, including six goals and four assists in his last 13 matches, has been instrumental in helping Arsenal secure crucial wins and maintain a strong position in both the Premier League and Champions League. Fans and pundits alike have lauded Merino's adaptability and work rate, especially following his influential display in Arsenal's 4-0 win over Ipswich Town, where he contributed both defensively and offensively. Social media buzzed with praise for Merino's impact, highlighting his seamless transition into a more advanced role due to injuries to key forwards. Arsenal's commanding victory over Ipswich, aided by a red card to their opponents, also featured standout performances from other players, but Merino's emergence has been a focal point in recent weeks.
