DEAL COMPLETED: Arsenal has finalised the acquisition of a £70m superstar after agreeing to activate his release clause yesterday night. The contract is established until 2028, and the player is scheduled to undertake his medical examination. Congratulations to Arsenal supporters today.

Arsenal is apparently poised to acquire Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi, according to the Daily Mail.

Since transferring to the Emirates Stadium from Atletico Madrid, Thomas Partey has consistently been the primary holding midfielder in Mikel Arteta’s starting lineup.

Jorginho was acquired few years ago to assist the Ghanaian. Both players are in the concluding months of their contracts, and given their advanced age in their careers, the Gunners are currently strategising to rejuvenate this position.

The Daily Mail reports that Arsenal want to strengthen its midfield by acquiring Zubimendi, whom they have been pursuing for over a year.

Liverpool attempted to get him last summer; however, the player ultimately declined the transfer to Anfield in order to remain at his childhood club. Arsenal has achieved a significant advancement in this transaction, with Fabrizio Romano reporting that the player has already consented to transfer to the Emirates Stadium, aided by Arteta’s influential role in convincing him to join the club.

Zubimendi to Arsenal
The Daily Mail reports that Arsenal is engaged in advanced negotiations to acquire the Spain international and ‘will formally activate’ his £51 million release clause. Arteta’s team seeks to finalise the agreement promptly; nevertheless, La Real is reluctant to part with the player during the ongoing season, hence the transfer is anticipated to occur at the conclusion of this campaign.

Manchester City expressed interest in acquiring him as a replacement for Rodri, who sustained a season-ending knee injury; nevertheless, the Gunners are poised to outmanoeuvre two Premier League rivals to finalise the agreement. Ben Jacobs asserts that the Gunners have ‘terms negotiated’ with Zubimendi, indicating that a transaction is nearing finalisation.

The Spaniard has been a pivotal figure for Real Sociedad after progressing through their development system. He is presently among the premier midfielders in La Liga and has solidified his position in the starting lineup of the Spain national team due to Rodri’s injury absence.

The 25-year-old is technically proficient and serves as an ideal deep-lying playmaker for Arteta’s possession-oriented approach. He excels at delivering threaded passes between the lines, effectively counters high-pressing teams, and is proficient in safeguarding the back four.

Consequently, he would represent a significant acquisition for the North London club if they successfully obtain his services at the conclusion of current season.
