Former Arsenal star Fran Merida retires at 34, ending a career that began with promise but never fully materialised. He now looks to pursue new challenges beyond football.

Former Arsenal midfielder Fran Merida has announced his retirement from professional football, confirming he’s set to take on a new challenge.

Leeds United could sign former Arsenal midfielder Fran Merida, according to latest reports.

With rumours once again circulating that Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain could be Liverpool-bound this summer, Arsenal have every right to feel aggrieved.
