A long-running transfer saga may be coming to an end as Arsenal look to have won the race for Real Sociedad’s midfielder Martin Zubimenti.
The Spain international is expected to join Arsenal in the summer, with Sociedad insisting he will stay at the club until the end of this season.
But, all in all, it looks like the Gunners have their man after a long history in which Liverpool also tried to sign the playeraccording to Daily Mail.
Zubimendi has shone in his time in La Liga, establishing himself as one of the best in Europe in his position and looks set to fit in perfectly with Mikel Arteta’s side.

With Jorginho and Thomas Partey nearing the end of their contracts, a signing like Zubimendi looks crucial for Arsenal, who also raided Sociedad for Mikel Merino last summer.

Zubimendi could also have been a good signing for Liverpool, although some fans may argue that they don’t seem to need him anymore.
The Merseyside giants have Ryan Gravenberch in excellent form under Arne Slot, while Curtis Jones has also upped his game this season.
Additionally, there are the likes of Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai in that position, so LFC could perhaps do well to focus on other positions, as well as crucial new contracts for star trio Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander. -Arnold.
Arsenal fans will be delighted with this news about Zubimendi, who looks like exactly the type of player they need to step up after what has proved to be a disappointing season.
Although Declan Rice and Merino have their qualities, Zubimendi could add a bit more quality with his range of passing, perhaps giving Arteta’s side a new dimension from the middle of the park.
