Zubimendi becomes Arsenal's first new signing this summer. |
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano used the familiar phrase "Here we go" to confirm that Zubimendi has agreed to sign a long-term contract with Arsenal. Official procedures will soon be completed for Arsenal to activate the contract release clause worth up to 60 million euros.
"Zubimendi will become Arsenal's first signing of the new season, marking an important milestone in strengthening the club's squad for the future," The Athletic reported.
With Jorginho certain to leave 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.
If he joins Arsenal, Zubimendi will have the opportunity to 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 Viktor Gyokeres and winger Nico Williams are also in the "Gunners'" sights.
