Arsenal have seemingly won the race for Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi – but he may not join the Gunners until NEXT season.
Zubimendi, 25, has long been courted by a slew of Europe’s elite, including several top Premier League clubs. And it’s widely known that he has been a long-term target for Arsenal, who tried to sign the Spaniard last year.
Liverpool tried to get a deal done for the playmaker in the summer, only for the Euro 2024 winner to have a late change of heart. But Zubimendi is now poised to seal a blockbuster move to the Premier League.
Talks over a summer move to Arsenal are now at an advanced stage with the player ready to move on from Sociedad. Zubimendi is known to have a £51million release clause written into his contract which the Londoners are now poised to trigger.
