Arsenal wants to sign their first summer by Martin Zubimendi with the Gunners who are sure to land the Real Sociedad -midfielder as soon as they have met his free company
Arsenal remains confident to close a deal for Martin Zubimendi – who could become their first summer signing. It is known that the Gunners have a long-term interest in the real Sociedad midfielder.
Zubimendi was on the radar of the club in the summer, but kept on the La Liga -Outfit, 12 months later and Arsenal has faith to secure his services as soon as they have activated his £ 52 million release clause. That is despite the fact that Real Madrid also circled around, while Liverpool was strongly interested last summer.
The 26-year-old has been a highlight in San Sebastian and helped Spain to win the euros, which impressively deputy for Rodri. Arsenal believes that he can further strengthen their midfield and new sports director Andrea Berta is on the same page as Arteta with regard to his qualities, ESPN reports.
In recent seasons, Arsenal has continued to strengthen their midfield ranks with the club record addition of Declan Rice in 2023 under their most important purchases. Zubimendi would compliment the Englishman and Martin Odegaard in the middle of the field.
Sociedad is willing to cash in their top players, with several of them proving the key to the success of Spain last summer and Arsenal is ready to return. The two clubs have a recent history of negotiation with the Premier League side that lands Mikel Merino 12 months ago.
This summer, the Noord -Londers see several additions with a striker and a wing player among the positions they want to strengthen. Arteta is supported during his term of office and seems to be investing further in the pursuit of the title that they have to miss again.
The signing of Zubimendi would be a coup, especially because he rejected Liverpool last summer, but the club will participate their problems in the last third. They have opposed calls to sign a striker in recent years, but that failure has become obvious this season.
Arsenal has no player who has scored double figure goals in the Premier League with Kai Havertz still their most productive players, who are in control nine times. The club is linked to people like Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokees as they look for more firepower.
Thomas Partey is no longer a contract, but he would like to stay with the Emirates with the club that stayed for him. However, Kieran Tierney will continue, while Oleksandr Zinchenko could be cashed in when a suitable offer comes on their way.
