Arsenal completes the signing of £60m world class superstar after club reached agreement to seal transfer last night,player now arriving for His medical as Announcement will be done TODAY

Arsenal Football Club has officially completed the signing of Spanish midfielder Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad for a reported £51 million, marking Mikel Arteta’s first major acquisition of the summer transfer window. The deal, which includes a long-term contract, was finalized after Arsenal triggered Zubimendi’s release clause and agreed on personal terms earlier this year.

Zubimendi, 26, is expected to bring much-needed depth and composure to Arsenal’s midfield following the departure of veteran Jorginho to Flamengo. Despite recent social media posts suggesting he remained in San Sebastián, Arsenal officials remain confident the deal will soon be finalized.

The Spanish international is anticipated to undergo a medical in London imminently, with an official club announcement expected shortly thereafter. Zubimendi’s addition is part of Arsenal’s broader strategy to strengthen the squad, with plans to invest approximately £200 million in new talent to bolster their Premier League title ambitions.

Manager Mikel Arteta, who has long admired Zubimendi’s playing style, was instrumental in persuading him to join the North London club, even after the midfielder declined an offer from Liverpool last year.

As Arsenal prepares for the upcoming season, the acquisition of Zubimendi signals the club’s intent to compete at the highest level, both domestically and in European competitions.
