‘100%’… Arsenal definitely want to sign 24-year-old midfielder, it’s one to watch
Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal want to sign Real Sociedad defensive midfielder Martin Zubimendi.
That is according 🔥to journalist Dean Jones, who has reported whether Arsenal could be able to sign Zubimendi in the final days of the January transfer window.
So, what has been reported about Arsenal and Martin Zubimendi? Let’s take a look.
Arsenal really like Martin Zubimendi
Well, according to journalist Dean Jones in GiveMeSport, Arsenal are interested in signing Ma🎉rtin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad.
The reporter has noted that it is unl🐠ikely that the Gunners will be able to do a deal this week, but the North London club are certainly determined to bring him to the Emirates Stadium in the summer of 2024.
There has been speculation in recent days that Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has already spoken to Zubimendi, who is willing to make the move to the Premier League club. Manchester United have also been linked.
Zubimendi has been on💫 the books of Sociedad since 2011 and has come through the Spanish club’s youth syste🃏m.
The Spain international is𝐆 now an established member of the Sociedad first team. The 24-year-old is under contract at La Real until .
Jones told about Zubimendi and Arsenal: ‘The links for Zubimendi are 100% concrete as far as I’m concerned. I’ve had it on good authority that he genuinely is a hot target fo⛎r t♈he summer window
“Obviously, they have got other names on the list and a lot of those have been already reported. But Zubimendi, his style of play, his character and profile, it’s all very desirable to Mikel Arteta and the Arsenal recruitment team as they’re starting t﷽o look at this situation.
“So Zubimendi𝓀 is definitely one to look out for, but they obviously won’t have it all their own way. They’l🧸l have some competition.”
My View: Martin Zubimendi could replace Thomas Partey at Arsenal
In my opinion, Real Sociedad defensive midfielder Martin Zubimendi could be a replacement for Thomas Partey at Arsenal.
While Partey has been used at right-back🔯 this season when he has been fit and available, he is a defensive midfielder by trade.
The Ghana international has had injury problems and is also 30 now. He is under contract at Arsenal . Barcelona are interested in Partey.
Zubimendi is only 24 now an♒d could still develop and improve further. He already has a wealth of experience.
The defensive midfielder has made 19 starts and two 🦹substitute appearances in La Liga last season. He has scored four goals and gi𒁏ven one assist in those games.
