“Only if I’ll collect his jersey number”- Arsenal target Martin Zubimendi finally responds to Arsenal transfer as the Spanish Midfielder will only join Arsenal on ONE condition

The focus of Arsenal’s attention said, “Only if I’ll collect his jersey number.” The Spanish midfielder, Martin Zubimendi, has finally responded to Arsenal’s transfer request, stating that he will only enter the club under ONE condition.

In advance of the January transfer window, Martin Zubimendi has made an effort to dispel rumours that he is being linked to Arsenal and Liverpool in the transfer market.

Zubimendi was the subject of a great deal of conjecture throughout the summer, and it appeared as though he would be joining Liverpool when the club agreed to match the £51 million release clause included in the Real Sociedad midfielder’s contract.

On the other hand, the Spain international turned down the offers from the Premier League and instead signed a new deal with Real Sociedad, the club he has been playing for since 2011.

Despite the fact that he has signed a new deal, there is still a lot of conjecture that a move might be on the horizon in the New Year, and Arsenal is now being considered as a possible destination.

Despite this, the 25-year-old player has claimed that he is not paying any heed to the buzz that is coming from the outside in advance of the reopening of the transfer market.

In an interview with Estadio Deportivo, he stated, “There will always be rumours, and now that January is approaching, there will be as well; however, I do not waste energy on outside noise.”

“I am content with the way that I am handling it, and of course, I will continue to handle it.”

Zubimendi stated earlier in the year that he was pleased with the choice that he took to reject Arne Slot’s team. This statement was made after his transfer to Liverpool was unsuccessful.

“I made my decision from within, I thought it was the best thing to do, and the results don’t affect me,” he said in an interview with Noticias de Gipuzkoa.

If you want to see the potential that this squad possesses, all you have to do is watch us train. I am looking forward to having a successful season.

Although Liverpool was unsuccessful in their desire to recruit the Spaniard, their efforts this season have not been hindered by this setback. Ryan Gravenberch has been performing exceptionally well in the deepest midfield spot.

And now it is Mikel Arteta’s team that appears to be in need of an additional midfielder given their well-documented injury problems, which have caused them to fall nine points behind Liverpool in the league standings.

Mikel Merino was acquired by the Gunners from La Real during the summer of last year. According to The Independent, the Gunners feel that the discussions that took place, in addition to Arteta’s personal relationship with the club, might pave the way for another high-profile acquisition in the midfield position.
