Zubimendi Deal close by

Arsenal closes a deal for Martin Zubimendi, with the Gunners now in pole position to sign the midfielder. The Spaniard has long been associated with a move to the Emirates who withdrew to Liverpool last summer.

But the men of Mikel Arteta had confronted with rising competition from Real Madrid for the signature of Zubimendi. In a positive sign, however, Radio Marca reports that the Gunners 'win the race' for the real Sociedad star.

The Premier League side is assessed as the 'best placed team' to sign Zubimendi. Madrid's uncertainty in the manager's post, where Carlo Ancelotti would almost certainly leave at the end of the campaign, as the door opened to Arsenal.

Man United reportedly sees Torino star Vanja Milinkovic-Savic as a potential signing while they want to bring in a new keeper. According to Tutto Mercato, the Serbian has attracted the attention of the Chiefs of Old Trafford.

He reportedly wrote a release clause of € 20 million (£ 16.9 million) in his contract with the Italian side. United, however, could be confronted with competition for his services, with Manchester City and Chelsea both interested.

Milinkovic-Savic has had an earlier spell at Old Trafford. In May 2014, United reached an agreement to sign the goalkeeper from Vojvodina and pay £ 2 million. He remained on loan for a different season, but never really appeared for the Red Devils. The club was eventually forced to release him after he had not obtained a work permit.

The versions of the Netherlands International have led Barca manager Hansi Flick and the sports director of the club, Deco, to chase him with it. But as reported by Sport, the well -documented financial misery of Barcelona would make the signing of Frimpong a challenge, despite the fact that his relatively low £ 34 million is a relatively low £ 34 million.
