Arsenal want ‘extraordinary’ £51m midfielder who’d cost less in wages than Douglas Luiz

have published a report claiming the Real Sociedad midfielder remains on Arsenal’s radar ahead of the summer transfer window.
In addition, the report claims that, while a deal for Zubimendi may be complicated for the Gunners due to his love of Sociedad, ‘he would cost less in wages’ than Douglas Luiz.

Martin Zubimendi a great shout for Arsenal
Arsenal could certainly do with bolstering their midfield ranks further in the upcoming transfer windows.
