In a devastating blow for Liverpool, Premier League rivals Arsenal have reportedly agreed personal terms with Real Sociedad’s Martin Zubimendi.
Zubimendi was the subject of a summer bid from Liverpoolbut finally the Spanish international decided not to move to Anfield.
He now looks closer than ever to a Premier League switch, but to the Gunners rather than the Reds.
Martin Zubimendi has agreed terms with Arsenal
according to Football transfersthe 25-year-old midfielder has agreed personal terms with the north Londoners, and the outlet point out that a January move is also out of the question.
Having signed Mikel Merino from Real, Arsenal can rest assured that the deal process should be much easier for a player who has a clear and obvious link to his boyhood club.
Zubimendi’s release clause is set at €60/£52mand it is understood that this will not be a problem for the Gunners.
Arsenal said this surprise signing could TRANSFORM their squad!
Whether it’s this month or the summer when the player decides to make the jump from La Liga to the Premier League, he will add some bite and creativity to Arsenal’s midfield.
The Premier League awaits Martin Zubimendi
It’s a compelling argument that Mikel Arteta needs a striker as a priority rather than panning for gold in others at one of his former clubs, but if the Arsenal board are willing to back their manager in the transfer market, the fans of the club need to “trust the process” so to speak.
Despite the injuries, the squad continues to show signs of improvement in terms of implementing Arteta’s ideas, and if they achieve the kind of consistency Liverpool have shown during the 2024/25 campaign, a first Premier title League under the Spaniard should be.” not be too far.
