People inside Arsenal think ‘extraordinary’ player is joining them this summer
Arsenal are expected to have a very busy summer transfer window.
The Gunners signed Mikel Merino, Ricc💖ardo Calafiori and David Raya on permanent deals last summer, while Raheem Sterling and Neto were brought in on loan.
Those arrivals have not helped Arsenal dominate the Premier League this season, and the fact that they did not sign anyone in January either increa﷽ses the nee▨d for new names in the summer.
The priority is a new striker for Mikel Arteta’s side, bu🦹t with Thomas Partey and J🅘orginho potentially leaving, reinforcements in midfield are a necessity too.
There is now 𒐪an update on one Arsenal midfiel🦩d target.
David Ornstein shares Martin Zubimendi to Arsenal transfer update
Martin Zubimendi has been a target 𒅌fo🏅r Arsenal for a long, long time.
The Spaniard is one of the most appre꧂ciated midfielders in Europe. Several big clubs want to sign him, and many have tried and 🥃failed in the past as well.
Liverpool famously got rejected by Zubimendi last summer, bu🔜t multiple reports over the last two months have s𝓰uggested that Arsenal have won the race for signature.
Many in the industry feel that the Spaniard will be heading to the Emirates this summer, and David Ornstein has now revealed that people inside the club belie💮ve the same too.
The journalist said in a Q&A on : “As far as we know, Martin Zubimendi is at a very advanced stage and the🍒 anticipation inside Arsenal is that he’s coming in.
“If that gets completed, it’s a significant financial outl🦹ay.”
Zubimendi’s re🌸lease clause is set at £50.5 million, but A𓃲rsenal could offer more in order to secure favourable payment terms.

Xavi’s comments on Zubimendi explain why Arsenal want to sign him
Zubimendi didn’t have the greatest game against Manchester United in t💎he Europa League this 🌌week.
The Spaniard ended up on the losing side and crashed out of th🉐e competitio🌠n. , but they shouldn’t worry too much.
Barcelo🅺na legend Xavi Hernandez, who was one of the greatest midfielders world football has ever seen, has publicly raved about Zubimendi in the past and hailed his ability in and out of possession.
Xavi said in May 2023, as per : “Zubimendi is an extraordinary defensive mi🌃dfielder, he understands the model we like at Barca, he dominates with and without the ball.”
Arsenal already have Declan Rice who dominates all phases of play. Adding Zubimendi into the mix should make them a lo✤t stronger than they already are.
