Transfer Breakdown

Arsenal remain optimistic about signing Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad, with the 26-year-old Spain international seen as a key addition to Mikel Arteta’s midfield.

Zubimendi rejected a move to Liverpool last summer, preferring to stay at Sociedad, but Arsenal believe they can convince him to make the switch to the Premier League.

Why This Move?

For Arsenal, Zubimendi would bring composure and ball retention, filling a deep-lying midfield role.

For Real Sociedad, losing their star midfielder would be a setback, but a high transfer fee could help fund reinforcements.

Expert Opinion

La Liga journalist Guillem Balague weighed in on the potential transfer:
🗣️ “Zubimendi is one of Spain’s best midfielders. Arsenal’s interest makes sense, but Sociedad will fight to keep him.”

Former Arsenal captain Patrick Vieira also commented:
🗣️ “Zubimendi’s passing and control would fit perfectly in Arsenal’s system.”
