Arsenal are reporteldy keen on signing 26-year-old Spanish international Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad this summer.
According to a report by Football Transfers, Arsenal are confident of signing 26-year-old Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi in the summer transfer window. They have already planned fresh talks with the player and his representatives. It will be interesting to see if they can get the deal done.
Zubimendi has established himself as a key player for club and country, and there is no doubt that he is good enough to play for the best clubs in the world. He could prove to be a quality acquisition for Arsenal if they can get the deal done. However, recent reports have claimed that Arsenal might face stiff competition from other European bigwigs, including Real Madrid.
The Gunners need more quality and depth in the middle of the park, and the 26-year-old will help them control games better. He will add technical ability, control and composure to the side. He has been linked with a move to the Premier League in the past as well, but the midfielder turned down an opportunity to join Liverpool last summer. It remains to be seen whether he is keen on joining Arsenal in the summer.
Arsenal move could be ideal for Zubimendi
Arsenal are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to play for them can be hard to turn down. They could provide Martin Zubimendi with the platform to fight for trophies regularly. The player would get to test himself at a high-level alongside top-class players as well.
The Spaniard has a €60 million release clause in his contract, and Arsenal certainly have the financial resources to pay up. They need to find a quality long-term replacement for Jorginho, and the Spanish international could be the ideal acquisition. It will be interesting to see if all parties can come to an agreement over the next few months.
Arsenal are currently fighting for the Premier League title, and they will look to win the Champions League trophy as well. They need better quality players at their disposal. The Gunners have missed out on the title narrowly in the last two seasons. Having top-quality players like Zubimendi could help them get over the line.
