When Arsenal actually agreed personal terms with Martin Zubimendi with transfer ‘done’
Arsenal appear to be close to securing a major signing for the summer.
Indeed, Arsenal are close to signing Martin Zubimendi, and it looks like the Spanish midfielder could be north London- bo𒆙und in the summer.
Arsenal have targeted Zubimendi for ages, and according to Steve Kay, speaking on KS1 TV, the ball was rolling ꩲwith this transfer a long time ago.
Indeed, according to the journalist, Arsenal have been on Zubimendi’s trail for a♌ long time, so much so🦄 that personal terms were agreed months ago.
Liverpool wanted Zubimendi in the summer, but, by that time, he’d already agreed personal terms with Ars♕enal.
The reporter claims that personal terms were actually agreed way back in March, stating that a deal is now done and ready to be confirmed at th🐭e end of the se🧜ason.
Arsenal agreed Martin Zubimendi terms in March
Kay spoke about the Zubimendi 🎉deal a🐬nd how this all came to be.
According to the journalist personal terms were actually agreed on this deal back in March, and that the only thin🎉g lef✤t to do is to sign on the dotted line.
“This is one that we’ve been on it for years.🌠 We know Arsenal love this player. We’ve said many times he’s the number one signing. 💞Liverpool nearly got him last year, but he decided he didn’t want to go,” Kay said.
“It’s very close, Arsenal will sign him, they will trigger his release clause in the summer of €60m. Personal terms were agreed in March, but that is a normal thing with the🌺 player, that’s the first thing you do. Tﷺhat was done long ago.
“There’s not a lot to be done other than signing on the dotted line, and then Martin💝 Zubimendi will become an Arsenal player. It’s done, I’m saying it’s done.
“He’s special, he’s special, speaking to a few people today what he is mainly is a single pivot in that number six mixed in with a bit of a box-to-box atꦓ the same time. He’s excellent at playing through the lines, he breaks up play, he’s fantastic.”
How Arsenal could line-up with Martin Zubimendi
This is an excitin💖g bit of news to hear that Arsenal are close to signing Zubimendi.
The Gunners are set to l🎐and the Eu꧟ro 2024 winner at the end of the season, and this signing could completely change the blend of how this Arsenal team works.
As Kay says, Zubimendi is at his bꦿest as a single pivot in the midfield, so his arrival 💯should free Declan Rice up to play in a more advanced number eight role.
Arsenal could change into a more tradit🧸ional 4-3-3 from next season rather than a 4-2-3-1 with a double pivot including Declan Rice and Thomas Partey or Mikel Merino.
As we’ve seen in recent years with Rodri at Manchester City, a holding midfielder can completel🌼y change the make-up of a team, and Arsenal will be hoping that Zubimendi can do just that.
Arsenal have been so close to having what it takes to become Premier League champions in recent yeꦡars, and with Zubimendi in the side, who knows? Perhaps next year could be the season Arsenal finally get over the line and win the Premier League.
