Arsenal have been left frustrated as their ‘world class’ target now looks set to sign for Liverpool

Arsenal and Liverpool have both had to endure slow starts to this summer’s transfer market with just the one signing between them.

💛It has been a strange summer window with the top Premier League clubs not exactly spending a huge deal of money.

Between the top three clubs from last season, it is only Arsenal𝓀 and Manchester City who have recorded a single signing each.

Arne Slot has taken over in the dugout at Liverpool🧸 but the Dutchman has not seen his inherited squad bolstered by any further additions.

ܫThere was not a huge deal between the three sides last season which could put further importance on the work which is done in the final three weeks of the summer market.

♛However, it seems as if Arsenal have been left frustrated after a player they agreed terms with now looks set to join Liverpool.

Player Arsenal agreed to sign is now set to join Liverpool

🌸The north London side’s summer window has only seen them bring in Riccardo Calafiori as they continue to search for more additions.

🙈Arsenal are now set to lodge their opening bid for Mikel Merino♔ of Real Sociedad as they aim to add the Euro 2024 winner to their squad.

▨But it is one of Merino’s teammates which is now hitting the headlines this summer.

Liverpool are looking to sign Martin Zubimendi﷽ over the coming weeks as Slot eyes a new number six having completed pre-season with the Reds.

According to , Arsenal have been left frustrated having agreed personal terms with Zubimendi earlier this year.

ღThe Gunners had been in contact with the Spain international’s camp from March and outlined their proposal to the player.

💮Zubimendi is said to have agreed to the terms on offer but the north Londoners were then left in the dark after failing to hear any further from the player’s camp.

Arsenal were confident they would be able to sign the midfielder but have since moved their attention on to his teammate Merino.

Liverpool pushing to sign Martin Zubimendi for Arne Slot

꧋Having had some time to assess his squad, Slot has now come to the conclusion that his Liverpool side would benefit from a new number six.

And the Sociedad midfielder is the player who has been identified as Liverpool push to bring Zubimendi to Anfield this summer.

Not only would Liverpool be landing themselves a ‘world class🌊‘ player but they could also get one over on Arsenal by landing the 25-year-old.

🍒And it has to be mentioned, Arsenal will now be fearing the possibility of losing out on their proposed deal for Merino with Liverpool looking to take Sociedad’s other important midfielder.

Interesting days lie ahead.
