DEAL CONFIRMED: Player now arrived at London Conley to seal Arsenal move TODAY, agreement has been on desk since yesterday and now is official – Congratulations Arsenal fans

Arsenal Football Club has officially confirmed the signing of Spanish midfielder Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad. The 26-year-old arrived at London Colney this morning to complete his medical, finalizing a £51 million transfer that has been in the works since January.

Zubimendi’s addition marks a significant move for manager Mikel Arteta, who has long admired the midfielder’s playing style and sees him as a pivotal figure in strengthening Arsenal’s midfield. The deal was made possible after Arsenal triggered Zubimendi’s release clause, with personal terms agreed upon earlier this year.

The Spanish international is expected to bring composure and depth to Arsenal’s midfield, especially following the departure of veteran Jorginho to Flamengo. Zubimendi’s arrival is part of Arsenal’s broader strategy to invest approximately £200 million in new talent to bolster their Premier League title ambitions.

Arsenal fans can look forward to an official club announcement later today, welcoming Zubimendi as the newest member of the Gunners’ squad.
