Spanish club Real Sociedad are now ready to make a swoop for two of Arsenal's most talented teens.

The Basque-based club are reported to be hoping to take both Fran Merida and Pedro Botelho on-loan next season.

Former Barcelona midfielder Merida spent the latter part of last season on loan with Sociedad, where the 18-year-old made 13 appearances at the Anoeta.

And the Segunda División side are also believed to be interested in Brazilian Botelho. The 18-year-old former Figueirense trainee also spent part of last season in Spain on-loan with Salamanca.

Sociedad president Inaki Badiola is hoping Arsenal will be persuaded to let both players spend the season with them.
