Arsenal close in on signing Zubimendi who ‘set for medical ahead of £51m move’

The real Sociedad -midfielder Martin Zubimendi will undergo a medical before he completes his move to Arsenal.

As reported by BBC Sport, the deal is almost completed, where all relevant documents are signed.

Arsenal is strongly connected to a movement for Zubimendi, which has a reported release clause of £ 51 million.

The Spain International will become Arsenal's first signing of the summer transfer window, while Mikel Arteta seems to strengthen his options in midfield.

All payment structures with regard to a deal for the 26-year-old have already been agreed between Arsenal and Sociedad.

A product of the youth system of Real Sociedad, Zubimendi has been played 236 times for the club, while he scored ten goals.

Zubimendi won the Copa del Rey with Sociedad, while enjoying success on the international stage with Spain and Euro 2024 and the 2022-23 edition of the Nations League.

He previously played with the current Arsenal stars Martin Odegaard and Mikel Merino at Sociedad and is international teammates with David Raya.

With Jorginho who leaves the club, the arrival of Zubimendi will contribute to the options of Arsenal in midfield.

Last year Zubimendi rejected the chance to become a member of Liverpool, but he now gets the chance to test himself in the Premier League.

It is expected that his arrival will reduce the dependence on Arsenal on Thomas Partey, who is in conversation with a new contract.

Arsenal is also looking for a striker during this transfer window.

The Gunners have been associated with Sporting's Viktor Gyokeres and Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig.

Arsenal will hope that their action in the summer transfer window will help them finally reach the line next season.

The Arteta team has finished in second place in the Premier League in the last three campaigns, while this season they reached the semi -final of the Champions League, but were eliminated by PSG.
