Merida agrees Levante loan deal
Sources from the Valencia-based team have indicated that the signing will be officially announced on Sunday.
The 19-year-old Spaniard spent half of the 2007/2008 season on loan at Real Sociedad and now seems certain to spend another spell away from the Emirates.
Levante, who will celebrate their centennial year during the upcoming season, are looking to gain promotion from Spain's Segunda Division.
The club's sporting director Manuel Salvador believes thinks that Merida can lead the team towards this goal after the departure of striker Alexandre Geijo to Racing Santander.
"This player (Merdia) could be very important for us after the exit of Alex Geijo. We have fought for his services because Arsenal have received many offers this summer," he said.
Merida's agent, Joseba Diaz, says that his client will be happy to play for Levante during the new campaign.
