Arsenal is among the clubs interested in Real Sociedad’s Martín Zubimendi, as reported by AS on Wednesday.
According to reports from the UK last month, the midfielder will join Arsenal during the summer transfer window. The Spanish media discounted the possibility of a deal already being reached, and Mikel Arteta refused to discuss the subject during an interview with Marca.
AS relays statements made in England last month and provides their own updates on Arsenal in their most recent report. The spotlight is primarily on Real Madrid’s desire, since the 26-year-old is on their radar for the upcoming window.
Los Blancos believe the Spain international is the best match for them for a variety of reasons, but they are not alone in the transfer market. He’s popular in the Premier League, particularly among the Gunners, who are currently in ‘pole position’.

The north London club sought to sign the player in the winter transfer window, but Real Sociedad, in agreement with Zubimendi, postponed the transaction until after the season.
Arsenal is expected to make a new attempt in the summer, with Arteta being a ‘great supporter’ and willing to pay his €60 million clause. Real Madrid is aware of the situation and is at a ‘disadvantage’, but have not given up on securing his services.
