Arteta Set to Land Another Summer Signing for Arsenal Following Zubimendi Deal Completion Mikel Arteta is reportedly close to finalizing yet another summer signing for Arsenal, just after wrapping up the deal for Martin Zubimendi. With Zubimendi’s transfer now confirmed, the Gunners are preparing to announce another addition to the squad as Arteta continues to strengthen his team ahead of the new season
In a press conference earlier today, club insiders confirmed that Zubimendi’s long-anticipated transfer to Arsenal is now officially wrapped up, with the Real Sociedad star joining the Gunners in a deal believed to be worth around £50 million. The 25-year-old defensive midfielder, known for his composure, tactical intelligence, and crisp passing, is expected to bring added balance and steel to Arteta’s midfield heading into the new campaign.
However, the North London club isn’t stopping there.
Reports indicate Arteta is now close to landing a second signing, with talks at an advanced stage for a player whose identity remains under wraps for now. Sources inside the Emirates suggest the announcement could come within the next few days as final details are being ironed out.
“We’ve been working behind the scenes for weeks,” a club source told reporters. “With Zubimendi secured, the focus has immediately shifted to finalizing the next target on Arteta’s list. The squad is being built carefully, with a clear plan in place.”
Arsenal’s aggressive activity in the market signals their intent to mount a serious title challenge next season and push deeper into the UEFA Champions League, after narrowly missing out on silverware last term.
Speculation among fans and pundits points toward potential reinforcements in both the defensive and attacking departments, as Arteta looks to boost squad depth and competition for places.
Mikel Arteta himself hinted in a recent interview:
“We know what we want, we know the areas we need to strengthen, and we are working hard to bring in the right profiles that fit this club’s vision.”
With the Zubimendi deal now complete and another signing imminent, Arsenal’s summer is shaping up to be one of their most proactive in years — with supporters eagerly awaiting the next announcement
