Zubimendi becomes Arsenal's first new signing this summer. |
British media have confirmed that all agreements for Zubimendi have been agreed. The midfielder will soon undergo a medical and sign a contract with Arsenal. Real Sociedad will receive around 65 million euros and will pay in installments.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano used the familiar phrase "Here we go" to confirm the deal was done. "Despite the information related to Real Madrid, Arsenal is in full control of the situation and Zubimendi will join the team as soon as possible," the Italian journalist added.
With Jorginho leaving the Emirates on a free transfer this summer and Thomas Partey's future uncertain, Arsenal are forced to add a quality defensive midfielder and Zubimendi is the perfect choice.
Zubimendi is considered the "successor of Xabi Alonso" thanks to his intelligent playing style, technique and excellent passing ability. He is a modern defensive midfielder, able to control the tempo of the game and launch attacks from a distance.
By joining Arsenal, Zubimendi will reunite with two former Real Sociedad teammates, Mikel Merino and Martin Odegaard. This trio was once the pillars of the Basque team.
After failing in both the Champions League and Premier League, Arsenal's board of directors is determined to bring in blockbuster contracts in the summer of 2025. Currently, striker Benjamin Sesko and winger Nico Williams are also in the "Gunners"' sights.
