ARSENAL REACH AGREEMENT WITH ZUBIMENDI! GUNNERS CLOSE TO £51M DEAL FOR REAL SOCIEDAD MIDFIELDER
Arsenal have taken a major step toward securing the signing of Martin Zubimendi, with the club reportedly reaching a personal agreement with the Real Sociedad midfielder. The Gunners are now in advanced stages of negotiations to finalize a £51 million deal that could see the Spanish international join Mikel Arteta’s squad this summer.
Gunners Nearing Breakthrough
After months of monitoring Zubimendi's progress in La Liga, Arsenal appear to be closing in on their midfield priority. With personal terms now reportedly settled, the club's focus has turned to completing the transfer with Real Sociedad, who are expected to demand full payment of the player’s release clause.
The 25-year-old is widely regarded as one of Spain’s most composed and intelligent midfielders. Known for his positional discipline, precise passing, and ability to control the tempo of matches, Zubimendi is seen as an ideal fit for Arteta’s tactical setup.
Arteta's Midfield Vision Taking Shape
Mikel Arteta has made it clear that strengthening the midfield is crucial to Arsenal’s ambitions next season, especially with the demands of Premier League and Champions League football. Zubimendi would bring a composed presence at the base of midfield — offering both defensive stability and sharp distribution.
His arrival would give Arsenal the flexibility to rotate or reposition players like Declan Rice and Jorginho, providing more balance and depth in the middle of the park.
Real Sociedad Bracing for Departure
Real Sociedad are reportedly resigned to losing Zubimendi if his release clause is met. The club has long feared interest from Europe’s elite and understands that a Premier League move could be difficult to block, particularly with Arsenal’s growing stature and promise of regular top-tier football.
