Although the season is not over yet, Arsenal are almost certain to have their first signing of the 2025 summer transfer window. That is midfielder Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad. Transfer news expert Fabrizio Romano used the familiar phrase "Here We Go" to imply that this deal is complete.

Accordingly, to own the Spanish midfielder, the London team spent 60 million euros to break the player's contract at Real Sociedad. This player will sign a long-term contract with the "Gunners" after the season ends.
Martin Zubimendi was signed by Arsenal to replace Jorginho, who will leave the Emirates on a free transfer when his contract expires at the end of the season. Thomas Partey is also likely to leave Arsenal on a free transfer if he does not sign a new contract.
Martin Zubimendi was born in 1999. This player is considered the successor of Xabi Alonso at Real Sociedad. This midfielder possesses good personal technique, impressive ability to control the rhythm and coordinate the ball. He is a member of the Spanish team that won the Euro 2024 championship.
At Arsenal, Martin Zubimendi will be reunited with another Spaniard, Mikel Merino. This player also moved from Real Sociedad to Arsenal last summer for a transfer fee of £32.6 million. This season, Merino has played well in the roles of central midfielder, attacking midfielder and false striker for Arsenal.

In addition, Arsenal's head coach, Mikel Arteta, is also Spanish. That helps Martin Zubimendi not have difficulty adapting.
In the near future, Arsenal's board of directors is expected to bring in a striker. Among them, Viktor Gyokeres (Sporting Lisbon) and Nico Williams (Bilbao) are in the sights of coach Arteta.
In recent seasons, Arsenal has been able to compete for the Premier League or Champions League, but they have fallen at crucial moments. Therefore, the team's management is determined to play big to bring home the championship.
